All Warp It members get their own web address domain and domain to ensure everyone involved knows where to go to get involved with reuse.

The person signing up on behalf of their organisation can decide the name used for the Warp It portal.

It could be the acronym of the organisation or full name, or it may be the email suffix the organisation uses.

It must be clearly identifiable to users, memorable, and unique. 

Here's a guide on how this feature works.

It follows this format: www.getwarpit.com/organisation_name or www.warp-it.co.uk/organisation_name

We have been absolutely stunned, amazed, and inspired by the Schools 4 Climate Action movement that has been started by young environmental activist Greta Thunberg. As we share her strong values, we are deeply affected by the movement and wish to offer our support and encouragement to students who wish to participate.

Topics: Campaigns

One of the most attractive features of Warp It is the ability to track the value of each trade, both financially and sustainably, to demonstrate the value of reuse.

Projects within organisations come in all shapes and sizes, but there’s one thing that they all share in common, and that’s collaboration.

No matter how difficult or complex a project may be, its success is dependent on how well the various parties involved have come together to make it happen.

When donating items to charities, schools, and other third parties you'll want to bypass the internal reuse phase.

We believe in the value of training and support, which is why we are launching Stakeholder Buy-In Webinars to ensure your reuse system gets off to a flying start.

 

These webinars are for Warp It customers, prospective customers and also any other organisation who feels they need to get stakeholders pulling behind reuse!

 

Our vision is to make reuse normal and we know how to do that so we will help any organisation who i on that same journey. 

We also offer these Webinars to support existing reuse systems where they can benefit from greater levels of automation or participation.

Reuse projects need collaborators

Getting reuse to thrive internally and externally requires collaborators from around the estate, but getting support from these collaborators can be a real challenge. The best thing you can do is to show everyone on the estate how they benefit from reuse.

Here are some helpful resources:

How does a Waste Manager benefit?

How does a Space or Decant Manager benefit?

How does a Director of Estates benefit?

How does a Head Porter benefit?

How does the ‘big boss’ benefit?

How does a Procurement Manager benefit?

How a workshop can gain support from all

What is a stakeholder session?

We can book you in for a stakeholder session. This online session can help with things like buy-in, participation, and understanding the abilities of the software.

The stakeholder sessions can be joined either by bringing the relevant people into a conference room with a large computer screen, or by each member joining from their desktop, tablet, laptop, or phone.

In the web session we outline the benefits to each of the stakeholders, present the overview, and take any questions that may be had.

This article has been put together for Warp It Administrators, to help you pilot the Warp It programme.

Make no bones about it the Procurement Department hold the keys to sustainability in any organisation.
