The University of Glasgow is on track to hit a million pounds in financial savings as it enters its eighth year using the Warp It redistribution system.

The university has recorded total savings of £929,740 and has stopped at least 3,959 items from going to landfill since it joined Warp It in 2014. Now it has set a target to reach one million pounds by the end of 2022.

A Warp It feature often overlooked, but proven to be very popular, is the capability of setting up sites, campuses and even departments on the system.

NHS Trusts, universities, blue light organisations and councils will usually have more than one site or campus and are often spread across a town, city or in some cases regions.

Warp It will ensure that the location of the items you've added to the system can be easily be identified, making life easier for members, those in charge of transporting the items and admins.

Read on for guidance on how this can be done.
