Transact Campus and CBORD have partnered with USEFULL to offer reusable stainless-steel containers for campus dining. Students can use their campus IDs or mobile credentials for a seamless experience.

Transact Campus (Transact) and CBORD, leaders in innovative campus technology and payment solutions, announced an expanded partnership with USEFULL, advancing sustainable campus takeout dining. This enhanced collaboration establishes USEFULL as the premier provider of sustainable takeout solutions through Transact and CBORD’s extensive higher education network.

As the premier reusable provider, USEFULL’s solution will now be available directly through Transact and CBORD’s procurement channels, streamlining implementation and support for institutions while providing enhanced integration capabilities.

The partnership builds upon USEFULL’s existing integration with campus ID systems, which allows students to seamlessly check out containers using their student ID or mobile credential. Ultimately, users will also experience enhanced integration via mobile ordering, kiosks, and POS.

Momentum for sustainable takeout packaging is growing at colleges and universities as they look to eliminate plastic containers and address related health issues from microplastics.

Already available to more than 85,000 students on campuses across the country that use Transact and CBORD services, students can check out USEFULL’s stainless steel containers at dining halls with their campus ID cards or mobile credentials. Distinguished by their stainless-steel construction, USEFULL’s plastic-free containers represent the most durable and environmentally conscious solution in the campus dining market.

“This enhanced partnership reinforces our commitment to bringing sustainable campus dining to our higher education clients,” said Chris Setcos, SVP of partnerships and M&A at Transact. “By elevating USEFULL’s innovative stainless-steel takeout solution within our portfolio, we’re enabling colleges and universities to implement transformative dining programs that align with their environmental goals while delivering a better dining experience for students.”

“We’re proud to strengthen our alliance with Transact and CBORD to accelerate the adoption of sustainable takeout solutions across higher education,” said Alison Cove, CEO and founder of USEFULL.
