About Pomona College

Founded in 1887, Pomona College is a private liberal-arts institution in Claremont, California. Its self-operated dining program serves roughly 1,750 students across multiple dining halls, cafés, and grab-and-go outlets.

The Challenge

Pomona’s token-based reusable container program, launched to reduce waste and improve sustainability, quickly became burdened by low return rates, operational bottlenecks, and student frustration.

Solution & Results

Reusables.com's Tap-to-Reuse™ system with automated checkouts, Smart Return Bins, and real-time accountability replaced manual processes, streamlining operations and strengthening campuswide sustainability.

Looking Ahead

The program will expand to more campus dining locations, introduce digital wallet payments, and develop cost-positive initiatives that empower universities to make reuse both easy and economically resilient.
