The University of Glasgow is on track to hit a million pounds in financial savings as it enters its eighth year using the Warp It redistribution system.

The university has recorded total savings of £929,740 and has stopped at least 3,959 items from going to landfill since it joined Warp It in 2014. Now it has set a target to reach one million pounds by the end of 2022.

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.
