We have some huge news ✌🏼

National news!

A Warp It case study was featured in a new government waste strategy document, titled ‘Our waste, our resources: A strategy for England’.

Along with other important waste issues, this means reuse of furniture and equipment is going to take more prominence in England. 

This article has been written for those in organisations who are improving things , changing culture, embedding sustainability etc.

This article is to help you get senior commitment to your next project by getting the support of the lead of the organisation (CEO or equivalent). 

Roundups are a regular message that the Warp It service can send out to all members telling them if anything has been added to their network in a specified time frame.

We love hearing from our valued members, especially when we hear feedback like this:

‘Hey Warp It! We’ve managed to get Warp It to run itself. The staff own it and run it between themselves’.

What a great position to be in, right?

Engaging your organisation in reuse is getting more and more popular each month, as we see and hear sentiment and content from all around the industry push this method of resource efficiency.

Through Warp It, members have managed to save more than £18 million collectively, with almost £7 million coming from members of the £100K club!

That is customers who have saved over £100K! 

With so many organisations, including businesses, charities, hospitals, NHS trusts, universities, colleges and schools now benefiting from our service, we thought it would be a great opportunity to highlight those who have exceeded particular milestones in savings.

Coaching is a process that aims to improve our performance and focuses on the present rather than on the distant past or future.

Fundamentally, the coach helps the individual to improve their own performance: in other words, helps them to learn.

This month we’re looking at how to coach and how to be coached.

Making Reuse Mainstream

Our aim is to make reuse mainstream and give you the tools and tips to help you do that in your organisation.

To help with that we are delivering regular regional workshops. See here.

I was going to write a blog post about why you should come to the workshops but then i thought i would widen the scope and give you reasons to go to any relevant event or workshop.

The Warp It loan feature allows staff in an organisation to loan out their idle assets.

Traditionally, our system has been designed for the use of asset donation between apartments and organisations, and the loan feature works on a similar basis. The difference, in the case of the loan feature, is that items change hands, but they do not change ownership, then, after an agreed period of time, they pass back from the loanee to the owner.

We have big news for Warp It members who are looking to donate assets into their local community, who really want to boost their CSR, and would like to help those who need and want it.

We have just introduced free access for all schools!

Right now, schools really need help.

They’re struggling.

Schools need stationery, they need chairs for pupils, they need sports equipment, and they need desks of all sizes.

We used to charge £50 for schools for the year but we have dropped this to remove the financial barrier and give schools free access.

This move was inspired by news articles like this and also hearing the same sort of story locally where we live.

We see surplus stationery and educational equipment everyday on a massive scale so we think making this move is actually a duty of ours to take advantage of the power of our network.
