Your organisation is on a reuse journey.

We want to be helpful, we want your reuse system to succeed and we want you to feel like Warp It is here to support you (which we are!).  Part of developing a reuse programme is making the business case which demonstrates a Return On Investment (ROI).

Benefits of Warp It to Municipal Councils

Councils up and down the UK are reaping the rewards from a partnership with Warp It. We’ve allowed them to:

• expand the reuse of their assets
• trade surplus assets with other agencies in the city and region 
• track all of the financial and carbon data along the way

These make compelling cases for why sustainability and better environmental practice should be taken more seriously.

As far as we know, no other service allows organisations like schools, municipal councils, healthcare , central government, charities and private sector, to trade and reuse surplus assets with each other for free.

We provide an equipment and furniture reuse network where you can always find homes for your unwanted items and where you can always find 2nd hand supplies!

 

• 60% of the trades on the system take place within the same organisation. 

 

• The rest of the trades are inter agency- that is between organisations!
