Over £5.2 million worth of donations from the Warp It reuse and redistribution community have been given to charities in the UK and abroad. The level smashes the target of reaching £5 million set at the end of last year. 

Warp It members have donated a wide range of medical aid and equipment to help combat paramedics in war-torn Ukraine, following an appeal by community group North Norfolk Aid for Ukraine.

The whole purpose behind Warp It is to help organisations reuse a wide range of items including office furniture and fixtures, stationery, corporate wear, uniforms, and even lab and medical equipment.

Almost anything can be reused.

This includes electrical equipment, office furniture, stationery, uniforms and corporate workwear, lab equipment, and medical equipment.

But sometimes there are certain terms and conditions to be followed.

This is when the tick box feature can be used.

This feature also allows you to ask questions when members add items or claim items.

What is the problem we are solving?

When members are adding items or claiming items they may need to adhere to certain conditions. This might be to remove an item from the asset register, for instance, to check that an item has been disinfected, or to ensure any applicable regulations and legislations are followed.

This helps you manage risk and expectations, and control behaviours when adding assets into the Warp It reuse system.

The University of Cambridge has saved £418,000 in just six years by using the Warp It reuse system.

The organisation joined Warp It in 2016 and during this time has extensively redistributed old and unwanted stationery, office furniture, and lab equipment throughout the university and to local charities.

Swansea University has made £19,000 in savings, avoided three tonnes of waste and 9,000 kilograms of carbon since signing up with the Warp It reuse community at the beginning of 2022.
