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.

I find it so fantastic to find a service that is giving and sharing when everything else is being cut back.
It is one of the few positive things about the job at the moment. Thank you

Warp It makes recycling and reusing so simple - the process is easy and quick...am seeing things on here all the time. I like the email digest which gives a good snapshot of what's available. All organisations, universities or otherwise, should be using it to reduce waste and encourage community-building between colleagues.
