[We] spent several months researching the best reusables tracking program that could fit the needs of our campus. After visiting multiple university campuses, it was clear that Topanga offered the tools and support needed for our launch aspirations…The technological capabilities Topanga offers for tracking engagement and loops have been very helpful in identifying opportunities to improve our operations. Our clients and the campus are impressed each month when they see the environmental progress we’re making together.

The Topanga team was so helpful during the sales and launch process. We started looking at the benefits of Topanga versus other programs, and the dashboard was a clear differentiator. Knowing how many times our containers have been reused, where the inventory is, and the real-time insights was incredibly valuable. It was an easy experience and the team calmed our nerves at every step.

While Topanga and ReusePass continue to use the feedback of member schools to improve the program, it is easy for us to say that ReusePass has exceeded our expectations. With over 1200 users and a return rate of 98%, the new program has been extremely successful.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Topanga! The ReusePass installation process was relatively seamless, and the main dashboard is very user-friendly. I know if I ever have any questions, I can always reach out and expect a timely response. Overall, the team and interface are great to work with.

We have seen amazing customer and employee engagement around the Choose to Reuse program. The rollout of this program was seamless and positive financial impact is better than we could have imagined. Our students love the commitment to providing a sustainable option and improving the sustainable footprint at Boston University.

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.

When you’re budgeting 60 cents for each to-go box, for each person, and now you don’t have to? You can invest those savings back into the quality of the food you serve and provide a better product. At the end of the day, that’s our goal: we get to serve a bigger piece of chicken, a bigger burger, a better quality french fry at our ReusePass location because of the savings.

It truly doesn’t take a lot of additional work on behalf of our frontline associates to run [ReusePass]… which is key for the sustainability (no pun intended) of a program like this. We don’t get a lot of pushback from our staff, and it’s easy for them to manage.

Topanga has worked out better than I could have imagined. We took our reusable container program to the next level thanks to Topanga. The support and setup teams are amazing. The dashboard and analytics that you get as an operator are so helpful. My program went from a 40% return rate to 97%. I recommend this to any program looking to make a serious impact on sustainability and single use waste.
