Launch your own reusable program and eliminate single-use
Truly reduce waste and save money
Cano’s mission is to help food retailers launch their own reusable packaging program and make sure that it maximizes waste reduction, cost savings and customer satisfaction.
Our technology has helped 70+ institutions transition away from disposables and is the only scalable option to go 100% reusables. Say goodbye to single-use packaging! Some of our partnering institutions have done it and you can do it too.
Automating reusable programs
Blazing fast borrows
With our mobile app and QR code technology, users can borrow and return any type of reusable containers in a few seconds.
Secure 99.6%+ return rates
With perfect traceability on containers, rewards for fast returns, and daily reminders. As a last resort, block accounts or charge users for unreturned containers.
Minimize staff implication
No deposit and refund management, no scans, and no electronics. We only require validation of borrows at checkout.
Impact reporting
Gain access to live statistics on the waste, CO2 emissions and costs saved at your locations.
Increase customer loyalty with your own rewards system
Make your customers come back more often with a one-of-a-kind rewards program that incentivizes frequent usage, quick returns, and repeat purchases.
Points are earned by users when they complete a return within 48 hours or when they refer other users. With these points, customers can redeem rewards at your location. Our program is flexible and you have full control over what you want to offer!
