Topanga’s ReusePass helps campuses launch and scale reusable to-go programs.
Topanga specializes in borrow-and-return programs that ensure reusable containers actually get reused. Whether you’re switching from single-use to reusable or looking to improve an existing reuse program, we’ll help you save money and meet your sustainability goals.
A reusable container program that's frictionless for students and food service operators
1
Check-out
Operators check containers out to students by scanning the QR code on the container and the student's unique ReusePass QR.
2
Enjoy
Students enjoy their meal waste free. Their ReusePass account shows them which containers they've checked out and when they are due back.
3
Return
Students return container to designated locations on campus. Containers are scanned back-in as they are washed and prepared for reuse.
ReusePass drives accountability, resulting in reusable container return rates over 98%.
QR & RFID tracking for reusable containers
Our operator-facing ScanApp can be downloaded on any device and our tracking tags can be applied to any packaging. We make tracking your packaging fleet a breeze!
Fully customizable program settings

Topanga's reusable container programs are proven.
These are the results you could see during year 1 of a ReusePass reusables program. We've used real data from one of our client's program to calculate these results. This campus offered ReusePass in one dining hall and saw on average 1500 participants and 600 reuse meals per day.
