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.
