Take a Tour of Warp-It

Reuse items internally, if the items are not required automatically advertise to preferred partners.

Legal transfer of ownership of assets.

Improve internal collaboration

Improve resilience

Link up with other partner organisations to reciprocally trade across organisational boundaries or pool common resources. Create a Warp It club of partners right across the town, city or region. Members do not buy anything that other members already have spare. Members no longer throw anything away!

Prioritise specific partners over others

If items become surplus internally - if required, choose to prioritise certain external organisations over others.

Support schools and 3^rd sector

Demonstrate CSR and capture the social value of assets redistributed internally and externally.

Search for partners by location, sector or specialism

Search and link up with partners who share common resources, geography or strategic relations.

Legal agreement

We provide the environment to transfer the ownership of assets in a legal and safe way.

Each external transaction is controlled by a legal process and agreement between the two parties.

Transport guide

An incredibly important part of reuse is the actual transport of the items from existing owner (contributor) to new owner (claimant).
This transport guide for admins will help you get started.

Reusing furniture around the University - what a great idea!
Doesn't seem to take long until a new item appears.
Warp It is now always my first port of call!

Fantastic resource!
I have sourced several items I otherwise would not have been able to get, saved my service money and helped the environment too.
