The target has been achieved and you re-used a whopping 740kg of items through the University&#8217;s Warp-it portal. That&#8217;s nearly three quarters of a tonne, and it has saved staff an estimated \u00a34,488 by avoiding buying new.<\/p>\n<p>Why did we do this? Because re-use is the right thing to do &#8211; it has lots of environmental and financial benefits (find out more here). The University recognises this and has a target to improve re-use by 10% by 2021. In April 2017 we avoided disposing of 649kg of stuff by re-using it, which saved staff over \u00a32,800 because they sourced items for free rather than having to buy it all new. So we wanted to see if we could do more than that this year.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"5922\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/creme-egg-desktop-tidy\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2018\/04\/Creme-Egg-desktop-tidy.jpg?fit=560%2C994&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"560,994\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix J37&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1523278034&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.7&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Creme Egg desktop tidy\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2018\/04\/Creme-Egg-desktop-tidy.jpg?fit=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2018\/04\/Creme-Egg-desktop-tidy.jpg?fit=560%2C994&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5922\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2018\/04\/Creme-Egg-desktop-tidy-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2018\/04\/Creme-Egg-desktop-tidy.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2018\/04\/Creme-Egg-desktop-tidy.jpg?w=560&amp;ssl=1 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You did it!
