Let’s give the floor to Micaela Basford, Corporate Sustainability Officer at Bath and North East Somerset Council, who has kindly joined us to talk about ethical and sustainable building clearances.

Each month we share a few things that we’ve spotted that inspire, amuse and entertain and these corkers put a smile on our faces!

Each month we share useful tips and tools that we’ve spotted that inspire, amuse or entertain. 

Collaboration isn’t just a nice thing to do, it’s essential. We need to work with those around us not only to share knowledge and come up with ideas, but also to support each other in times of need and solve problems.

While always learning in this ever-changing networked economy we operate in.

Here we share some tools and tips on how to get collaborating in the best way that works for you and your team.

As items are rehomed, its status changes from active to claimed. 

When the item is collected or delivered to the new location, the new claimant can set the status as collected.

This keeps everything tidy and ship shape. 

It also gives the new owner a chance to cancel or reject the claim if that's required.

Here's a guide on how to use this feature. 

The new owner will get five reminders to update the status to collected. These reminders are grouped into the daily round up so they're sometimes missed.

Furthermore, the status may not does not get updated because people are busy. See below.

To make reuse mainstream we must innovate. Whether it is the adoption of new practices, new policies, new software or coming up with our own solutions....

We are delivering a series of regional workshops to do just that.

Procurement Pam and Procurement Paul

"Good morning, good afternoon, good evening! We are Pam and Paul, and we both work in procurement departments throughout the land! We are here to show you a little more about our work, and we are going to look at the problems faced, responsibilities managed and particular reasons that other people working in Procurement would be aided by the use of Warp It too."

You may deal with people from a few organisations when running your reuse project and want them to access Warp It. When this happens you will need to add and approve members based on various email suffixes.

To maximise the reuse of assets around your organisation, you need to involve as may members of staff as possible. And this means adding them all to the Warp It system.

Warp It are pleased to welcome the wonderful Ashley Scotland, founder of Thriving Survivors, a charity for the brave survivors of trauma.
