Hi all, we have a small project looking into creating consumables in house (3d printing) to reduce emissions from travel. Does anyone have recommendations for carbon emissions calculators or methodologies that could help estimate potential savings? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Amy

Good afternoon. We are exploring using Warp It as one stop platform to facilitate and capture all our rehoming activities \[furniture, labs, IT?, maintenance, construction\]. I am mostly aware of institutions using Warp It for furniture and only hears positive stories. I would welcome a chat with Institutions/departments using Warp It \[or equivalent platform\] in an established manner for lab equipment and consumables, or having dicarded using Warp it after careful consideration or a negative trial. Many thanks in advance. Best, Maggy
