Allotment group revamps its clubhouse with reused furniture

Warp It are here to support you every step of the way in your reuse journey.

To do that, we’ve produced some branded sticker templates to make it absolutely clear what is going to happen with your surplus assets- as part of a building move or as part of your reuse campaign.

Flat screen TVs are not only good for watching THE WORLD CUP they’re also a very useful tool for engaging people in whatever message you want to get out.

Within your organisational estate you probably have flat screen TVs in the foyer, in the lift areas etc. These can be a great tool to get your message out.

They’re an important part of our lives, screens. Just think how many are in your home, your office and every building you enter. It’s hard to not look at them when you’re passing by, right?

Getting buy in from all departments within an organisation maximises reuse of surplus assets.  Ensuring Warp It is introduced right from the get go will mean Warp It becomes policy within your organisation and therefore maximising reuse and saving money!

We have talked about getting specific roles within your organisation excited about reuse before- see here- but I bet you never thought HR could be an allie!

People are positively influenced by other people that they know and trust. We have talked about this in the past.

So how do you reach lots of people and start building rapport and trust with just 8 hours in each day?
