Our objective is to give you the tools and tips to help you do that in your organisation, toen, city and region.

We have seen great interest over the last 6 months in Ireland so in this blog post we are announcing dates for Ireland in early 2020.

More info about the workshops

If you need any more evidence that these workshops will SUPER CHARGE reuse in your organisation town city or region then please read below!

High praise!!

We know you are busy and we know it is very hard to get away from work, so we squeeze a great deal into these short sessions. 

In these workshops we have 15-20 minute slots where you hear from procurement, waste, facilities management and sustainability experts talking about their reuse journey and how they have overcome barriers.

We split these presentations up with quick breakout sessions, where you will meet and talk with colleagues from other organisations who are also streamlining reuse. 

The topics are vast and the things you can learn will be amazing.

Ben Lynch is the Partnership Manager at Warp It. In his role, he is responsible for facilitating the safe and smooth passage of reusable assets from our valued customers to our partners in the charity and school sectors.

We’ve grabbed Ben for a quick interview so that you can learn more about what is going on behind the scenes.

Within an organisation that wants to make a change, there has to be an individual who can lead and take responsibility for that change.

Culture change requires the driven implementation and promotion of the new method from within.

Members of your organisations come and go, this is simply the nature of work, and it often goes hand in hand with Warp It and reuse when it comes to rehoming assets that are no longer wanted or needed.

Dear Warp It Admins,

This one is for you. Over the last few years, we’ve worked hard to increase the levels of control and customisability that you have over your organisation’s Warp It portal.

In this article, we are going to explain how to control what your users can see when they are in the marketplace.

Is your organisation a bit apprehensive about giving staff tools that they could potentially cause havoc with?

Don’t worry, it’s a common concern. When we introduce the capabilities of Warp It, sometimes we get a bit of pushback about its dangers and limitations.

We get asked regularly by our members why we collect data on so many different metrics, what we do with that data, and how they should then use that data to their advantage?

In this guide, we will look at these questions and try to help you see the bigger picture of reuse data, and how it is more valuable than simply knowing how many items have been traded and to whom.

Every so often we get requests from customers along the lines of....

These items are definitely not required internally- we want to send them straight to charity.

Now you can send items straight to charity!

Within the admin settings panel, you will find ‘Control Partners’, a section that will enable admins to allow items to be immediately assigned to third parties.

Log in as admin> settings> control partners......

Warp It Admins have expressed an interest in having more control of user behaviour.

In this case we had a request from Sussex Community NHS Trust to get agreements from members when they were adding or claiming certain categories because these categories were associated with specific risks. 

We have had similar requests in the past so we looked into it further.

There maybe certain risks around electricals, ward equipment and even some types of furniture and members need to know about these risks or agree to statements around these risks.
