Case Study: Georgia Southern University reduces waste and saves costs with Topanga’s ReusePass

Georgia Southern University cuts waste with Topanga and reaches a 99% return rate

Georgia Southern University, a public research university, faced a significant challenge with the immense waste from single-use Styrofoam containers in its dining halls. Seeking a more sustainable and cost-effective solution, the university partnered with vendor Topanga to implement their ReusePass reusable container program.

Topanga's ReusePass solution provided a flexible and operationally efficient system for the university's dining operations. The program was a remarkable success, achieving a 99% container return rate. This resulted in a savings of nearly $34,000 and prevented over 87,000 single-use containers from entering landfills, demonstrating a substantial positive environmental and financial impact for Georgia Southern.
