WARPit in 100 words (ish!)

  • www.warp-it.co.uk  is an online resource redistribution portal for organisations- like a corporate  Ebay/Freecycle- Or Noel Edmonds swap shop if you are a bit older!

 

  • Makes it easy for staff with underused or unwanted items to find others who require- saving waste disposal and improving space efficiency.

 

  • Makes it easy for staff who want to buy new, to check whether anyone else inside organisations has resource spare- avoiding unnecessary procurement

 

  • Saving significant resources for organisations- Sunderland CC are saving average of £5.5K a month and Northumberland CC achieved payback in 8 days.

 

  • Facilitates the legal redistribution (donation/loaning/selling/renting) of unwanted/ underused assets between all  staff and all organisation estate (including schools etc).

 

  • Also possible to redistribute to partner organisations (eg  public sector, charity) for reciprocal sharing- creating whole region sharing network.

 

  • Brings benefits to procurement, Facilities Management, finance, schools and sustainability.
