This is a container tracking app for dining services, which uses a unique QR code on every container, similar to a library book system. Students simply scan a container for check-out when they are taking food to go, show the Reuzzi Pass on their phones to the cashier, and drop off the container at a designated collection site when complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During FY 2023, Dining Services distributed 521,940 pieces of single-use disposable to-go ware to their customers. Using green to-go containers instead of compostable single-use items in dining facilities helps to reduce costs and our overall waste stream.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How It Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Download the Reuzzi App and checkout a container from Cafe Mac!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Take your meal to go and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: Return your empty container to the Campus Center.
