Reuse helps Norfolk community group source critical supplies for Ukraine

What happens when a department in the organisation only wants to reuse their assets within that department You set up a private network within your Warp It portal.

There a various reasons for this. It could be due to the nature of the item. It could, for example, be a speciality asset such as lab equipment or high-value assets that the department would like to keep in-house.

Or it might be that space managers only want to redistribute specific items.

Whatever the reasons, the ability to have a private network within the system would be highly beneficial.

Here is a guide on how to set up a private network on Warp It. 

Does the following description apply to you?

Are you working in the Science or Healthcare sectors and are desperate to find a sustainable solution that enables some of your unwanted assets to find an appropriate home, rather than being sent despairingly to the landfill or for incineration? If yes, Warp It offers the perfect eco-friendly solution for you.

We are very pleased to welcome Daniel Smith, Sustainable Labs Officer at the University of Birmingham, to discuss the impressive work that has been going on at the educational organisation.

We are going to be talking about lab reuse, behavioural change, and a gigantic balloon!

Recently we revealed that we were in the process of asking our community to help us design some amazing visual stimuli for laboratory or science facilities to boost reuse.

There are four main goals of these materials

We want to develop a campaign around the reuse of lab equipment to free up space, reduce waste,  extend lab budgets and to help labs be more sustainable.

We thought it would be sensible to ask those who work with lab equipment and supplies, to vote on the design, tone and feel of the campaign, before we go ahead and get the campaign materials produced.

If you are a sustainability, procurement or lab manager and you want to share this with your staff we have written a template email below.

In this session we are talking to John Brooker from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) about lab recycling.

Many of our members work in labs, so we thought this would be a good educational cross over. Also, this year you might be looking at laboratory recycling...and next year you might want to tackle lab reuse. You already know we can help with that! See our lab reuse case study here.
