Campus-wide reuse that students actually use
University students will not download another app. Tap&Reuse works with any payment card — no app, no deposit, just a tap. Adoption starts on day one.
What makes universities different
App fatigue
Students already have too many apps. Another one for cups will not get traction.
Multiple outlets
Campuses have multiple cafes, canteens, and kiosks across different buildings. The system needs to work across all of them with cross-location returns.
Sustainability reporting
Universities need verifiable environmental impact data for annual reports, accreditation, and public commitments.
Built for universities
No app, no barrier
Any payment card or student card works. Students tap in and tap out without creating an account. Semi-open loop with a 7-day return window.
Cross-campus returns
Borrow from one cafe, return at any other building on campus. The system tracks it across all locations. Non-return fee of £3 per cup charged automatically if not returned.
Automated ESG reporting
Environmental impact data exportable by building, outlet, or time period. Ready for sustainability reports without manual data collection.
Chichester University
6 locations live including Costa Coffee and Starbucks campus outlets. Kingston University: 3 campus locations.
Cross-location returns work across campus buildings. Students borrow from one cafe and return at another.
