Reusable Packaging Software For A Cleaner World

REUSO empowers the reuse movement through their tag and trace technology

REUSO helps food and beverage operators transition away from disposables to reusables, similar to a library book system. Customers check out reusables from participating operators for free and receive text message reminders to return them. Souvenir fees are applied for reusables not returned after two weeks.

Our mission is to eliminate as many disposables as possible through our circular system. Thanks for checking us out!
