Warp It is a subscription-based networking platform that connects organizations and enables them to loan, receive or give a wide range of office equipment.
We want to make reuse mainstream and desirable. To make it easy for organizations. Where buying new is the last resort and nothing is wasted.
Daniel O’Connor – Head of Customer Happiness, Warp It.
Why you should care
Warp It facilitates redistribution and reuse of office inventory, equipment and surplus assets between public, private and not-for-profit organizations. It aims to reduce the need for new equipment and prevents furniture and resources from going to landfill. Through an online platform, unwanted and unused resources are advertised to interested subscribers. The network subscribers have achieved combined financial savings of more than $8.4 million, while avoiding 2,484 metric tons of CO2 emissions. When items are broken, Warp It repairs them and then reintroduces them into the system. Exchanged goods include furniture, stationery, ink cartridges and electrical, lab and medical equipment.
