When Ellie (age 8.5) saw the heartbreaking bushfire images coming from Australia she wanted to do something. So she did.

Our team here at Warp It recently welcomed some incredible news, news that really puts us on a global stage.

The ‘University Impact Rankings 2019’ was released by the ‘World University Rankings’ and looks at many of the Sustainable Development Goals. It featured data on more than 200 universities from more than 56 countries around the world. ‘SDG 12: responsible consumption and production’ is the SDG most relevant to Warp It due to the nature of our business- making assets last longer, therefore reducing resource use. 

When you solve a problem that everyone can relate to....

When you create a simple tool to fix that problem...

When you create a solution that helps the environment, improves sustainability, and allows departments to work together in an organisation,  to make the organisation healthier and happier, you create a vehicle which helps to garner support for even more sustainability initiatives!

If you want to plant some trees then this is for you.....

Extending the lifespan of products by reuse and repair reduces manufacturing and transport and thus avoids carbon emissions.

We track carbon savings on our system and express this as the theoretical "number of trees planted" equivalent.

We would actually like to express this more visibly and actually plant the number of trees in real life! 

In this article we make a proposal to plant trees with our customers and their community. 

We are seeking partners to take part in a tree planting project where we actually plant the number of trees equivalent to the carbon your organisation has saved by reusing items on Warp It.

Our customers have exceeded expectations! As of now customers have saved £2.7million worth of furniture and equipment and donated it to charities all over the country!! 

Yes they have given furniture and equipment to the value of £2.7million to all the third sector. 

Has your organisation ever considered introducing an equipment/asset reuse system?

Perhaps you’ve got an existing system and it is in serious need of improvement?

Reuse is an activity that can have an enormous return on investment... when done right. The returns that can be gained are not only financial (due to budget and time savings), but also environmental, thanks to being more resourceful and avoiding sending useful assets to landfill. Warp It has solved all of the issues that (used to) come with reuse systems.

Do you work on sustainability issues in your organisation or you know somebody that does?

If the answer is yes, get ready to help make a change!

As part of my usual daily call routine I have been speaking to sustainability managers coming back to work after the Easter break. 

Many of them are saying that the David Attenborough, Extinction Rebellion, Climate Emergency declarations are helping them push their sustainability objectives. 

Staff are more engaged, Senior staff are more informed. 

2/3rds of Britons agree the planet is in a climate emergency.

Greta Thunberg, the Climate Emergency Movement , David Attenborough, plastics and Extinction Rebellion are the single biggest conduit of opportunity of the last 30 years for getting sustainability changes, policies, and plans, introduced into your organisations and embedded into culture deeply.

It is time to review and reinvigorate your Green Champion Network. 

It is time to ride this wave of interest and use it to make lasting sustainable change.

But how? We are going to tell you how to harness and take action!

When it comes to video marketing, leveraging your workforce is an excellent way to have a powerful impact on other members of the organisation, as well as external partners.

We’ve spoken about this topic in this past, showing how some of our partners have used a staff video to increase participation in reuse, namely by getting senior figures to take part and encourage engagement.
