Since implementing Topanga's ReusePass reusables program, McMaster University's dining program has seen tremendous results. 🌍 📊 "McMaster Hospitality Services has been so happy with our Topanga experience. We like that the system is simple and seamless for both our customers and our operators. We were able to use our existing green containers and added unique stickers to match containers to students. The unique tracking codes are so helpful to nudge students to ensure that we get our containers returned. Students find it very helpful that they can use SSO to sign up for ReusePass, and add ReusePass to their digital wallet, making it an easy and accessible system." – Liana Bontempo, MPH, MBA (c) 🔗 Dive into the details of McMaster's success with ReusePass in this case study: https://lnkd.in/gYdavq8K #ReusePass #Reusables #ReusablesProgram #ReusablePackaging #Sustainability #FoodService #Dining #CampusDining #College #University
