If you need any more evidence that these workshops will SUPER CHARGE reuse in your organisation town city or region then please read below!

High praise!!

We know you are busy and we know it is very hard to get away from work, so we squeeze a great deal into these short sessions. 

In these workshops we have 15-20 minute slots where you hear from procurement, waste, facilities management and sustainability experts talking about their reuse journey and how they have overcome barriers.

We split these presentations up with quick breakout sessions, where you will meet and talk with colleagues from other organisations who are also streamlining reuse. 

Making Reuse Mainstream

Our aim is to make reuse mainstream and give you the tools and tips to help you do that in your organisation.

To help with that we are delivering regular regional workshops. See here.

I was going to write a blog post about why you should come to the workshops but then i thought i would widen the scope and give you reasons to go to any relevant event or workshop.

We are posting this article off the back of a very successful event at the Create Center in Bristol, where we had a fantastic turn-out of Warp It customers, as well as other parties interested in improving their organisational reuse.

We had a great chinwag and shared loads of interesting ideas, with the event starting off by going around the tables introducing ourselves and our roles. We were pleased to welcome friendly visitors from:

Reuse within and between organisations. Warp It Workshop. 

Improve your reuse program! Making reuse mainstream! Adopt circular economy practices.

The Mark Shayler interview

Mark Shayler from This is Ape is hosting our break out sessions at our up coming workshops.

Mark is an Eco innovator & author (Book here), who works on making things better & making better things.

He is the founding partner of The Do Lectures, which is like Ted Talks but way better and way cooler and more down to earth.

He also produces a great podcast if you are into delivering quality. 

Mark's Ted Talk is right here.

He is an engaging speaker. He has 4 kids, 11 chicks, 10 ducks and 2 dogs!

I first met Mark a few years ago at an event. I was exhibiting and across the hall could hear outbursts of laughter. This is rare for the types of exhibition we go to. i walked over to see what it was all about and the vibe was more like a comedy club than a boring Expo.  Mark was talking about Eco Innovation and reducing and circulating assets, materials and resources.

Mark is going to be speaking at our forthcoming events!

Mark is hard to pin down,  so I texted him (while he was on the way to Atlanta) some questions for this interview and he generously replied. 

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.

Making Reuse Mainstream

Our aim is to make reuse mainstream and give you the tools and tips to help you do that in your organisation.

In 2018 we are delivering a series of regional workshops. The objectives of the workshops are

• Help existing Warp It customers (and main players across the region) collaborate with each other to maximise reuse internally and externally. 
• Share experiences of barriers and solutions to help others maximise reuse.

It is much better way of learning to listen to peers talk about their experiences rather than consultants, experts (or even listening to us)! 

• There are people out there who have worked out the short cuts to success. 
• There are people out there who have made all the mistakes there are to be made already.
• There are people out there who have a wealth of knowledge to share.

We have decided to get these people together and do a workshop as part of our support offering.

The topics are vast and the things you can learn will be amazing (if you are into increasing organisational reuse!).

During 2018 we will deliver regional workshops to bring this experience to you.
