Ozzi Reusable Container Program

OZZI Sustainability Solutions

Help us go zero-waste by joining the Husker ReusePass reusable to-go program.

This free borrow and return program for Ozzi containers is now available on campus! ReusePass helps support our sustainability efforts and reduces waste from our dining program by using reusable containers for to-go orders.

Two students dine in Selleck Dining Center using reusable OZZI containers.

Why Reuse?

Reduce Waste

95% of plastics don't get recycled–even if you throw them in the blue bin! Instead, most single-use plastics end up in our oceans and landfills. Each time you choose to reuse, one less container goes to landfill.

Avoid Emissions

The production of single-use containers, even compostable ones, is a resource-intensive process. Each time you reuse, one less container needs to be manufactured, shipped overseas, and delivered to your campus.

Save Water

Yes, reuse requires washing. However, this sanitization process uses less water than is required for the production of a new single-use container.

How It Works

  1. 1. Sign Up

    Go to https://go.unl.edu/reusepass to create your free account

  2. 2. Rent & Enjoy

    Use your ReusePass QR to check out reusable containers. Enjoy your waste-free meal and return your container within 3 days.

    Tip: Add your ReusePass QR code to Apple Wallet.

  3. 3. Return

    Remove any non-food waste from your Ozzi (utensils, napkins, condiment packets etc.). Leave food waste in the container. 

    Place your container into the return bin or dish carousel at these locations:

    --O2GO return bins located in the Selleck Dining Food Court, Abel Welcome Center, Sandoz Residence Hall entrance, or outside of the East Campus Dining Center.

    --Dish return belts at Abel Dining Center, Cather Dining Center, Harper Dining Center, East Campus Dining Center

    --Any Herbie’s Market Register. Just hand the container to the cashier.

  4. That's it!

    After you return your container our dining team places food waste into biodigesters then scans, washes, and sanitizes your container so it can be used again and again. Your ReusePass account will update to reflect your return within 24-48 hours.
