Our story

From platform to movement

We started with a simple observation: organisations waste millions every year replacing things they already own. Not because people don't care, but because there's no system to connect surplus with need.

So we built one. Warp It became one of the longest-running corporate redistribution platforms in the world — used by NHS trusts, universities, councils and government departments across the UK and beyond.

Along the way, we learned something important: technology alone doesn't deliver reuse. The real challenges are organisational — governance, procurement habits, logistics, departmental silos and behaviour change.

That's why Reuse Network exists. We combine the platform with the operational knowledge to make circular redistribution actually work at scale.

Our difference

Why organisations choose us

Operational experience

We haven't just studied circular economy — we've run a redistribution system across hundreds of organisations for over a decade. We know what works and what fails.

Behaviour change expertise

Most consultancies produce strategy documents. We know how to change behaviour inside bureaucratic organisations — from porters to procurement to the C-suite.

Working technology

We don't just advise — we deliver. Whether it's the established Warp It platform or a bespoke build, the technology is proven and ready.

Evidence-based

Every claim we make is backed by real data. We track financial savings, carbon reduction, waste diversion and social value across every implementation.

Network effects

Our systems don't work in isolation. Organisations connect to a wider network — the more that join, the more surplus becomes available to everyone.

Sector knowledge

Deep experience across NHS, higher education, local government and central government. We understand procurement rules, governance structures and operational realities.

Our journey

Over a decade of building reuse systems

From a single platform to a comprehensive methodology for circular redistribution.

The early years

Warp It launches

The platform goes live, initially serving universities and NHS trusts. Early adopters prove that structured reuse works.

Growth

Scaling across sectors

Expansion into local government, central government and corporate estates. The network passes hundreds of organisations.

Milestones

Millions saved, millions donated

£12M+ in financial savings. £5M+ in charitable donations. Used by 7 of the world's top 13 universities.

Today

Reuse Network launches

Combining platform technology with consultancy expertise to help organisations, cities and regions build their own circular redistribution systems.

Our philosophy

Reuse is an organisational systems problem

It's not about technology. It's not about awareness. It's about building the governance, workflows, logistics and culture that make reuse the default — not the exception.

We've learned this through doing, not theorising. Every framework, every process, every recommendation comes from real-world implementation across hundreds of organisations.

Let's build something together

Whether you're a city, a health system, a university or a government department — we'd love to talk.
