Vancouver-based Reusables has raised an oversubscribed $3.6 million seed round co-led by StandUp Ventures and Amplify Capital. The funding will accelerate deployment of the company’s hardware-enabled SaaS platform for institutional foodservice reuse.
Founded by Jason Hawkins and Anastasia Kiku, Reusables pivoted from restaurants to focus on universities and hospitals, enabling seamless reuse of food containers via smart bins and on-site cleaning. The platform avoids transport emissions and cuts packaging costs. UCLA and UC Riverside launched Reusables on Earth Day. With revenue on track to triple and 34+ locations already live, the firm is building a scalable solution to packaging waste.
