Leveraging Sustainable Technologies for Residential Reusables Programs

Ken Field, Indiana University Director of Residential Dining, and Elizabeth Riede, Appalachian State Executive Director of Campus Dining, will be joining this live panel chat hosted by Page Schult, Topanga CEO and Co-Founder, where they’ll be discussing the broader sustainability landscape of college campuses and how the evolution of different sustainability technologies are impacting campus dining programs, as well as where reusables packaging programs like Topanga's ReusePass fit into that.

Both will share from first-hand experience what it looks like to launch + scale a purely residential program and how they were able to measure the impact of reusables on their campus-wide sustainability efforts and overall ROI.

For context, both IU and App State launched their ReusePass programs in the Fall of ’23. Since then, both have been able to drastically reduce waste on campus, reduce their monthly costs that were previously going towards disposables, and look into retail expansion thanks to the success of the program.

Other areas that will be covered in this panel include:

• Tapping into reusables to help you phase out single-use plastics on your campus
• The power of impact reporting data and how to leverage it
• And more!
