We use Warp It to redistribute and reuse surplus items of furniture and equipment. Warp It makes it very easy for staff to give, get, or loan surplus items to/from other staff.
If items are not required within our organisation, they can be passed onto partner organisations.
We use Warp it because it helps to reduce unnecessary procurement, reduce waste, save purchasing and waste disposal costs, helps with building clearances, reduce supply chain waste and carbon emissions, improve collaboration between staff, show leadership by sharing our surplus assets to partners locally and beyond.
Items that can be reused through Warp It include reusable furniture, electrical equipment, fixtures and fittings, office consumables (such as stationery and ink jet cartridges), supplies but any resource really.
As long as it is legal, it can be transferred. If you have any surplus in your office get it added to the system, or if you are buying something this week search Warp It to make sure someone else does not have it spare!
