USC Zero Waste Initiative
University of Southern California deployed Revi across campus dining halls to achieve their zero-waste certification goals.
The Challenge
USC's sustainability team faced persistent contamination in recycling streams across their 30+ dining locations. Manual audits were time-consuming and provided only periodic snapshots of waste behavior.
The Solution
Revi devices were installed at high-traffic waste stations, providing real-time sorting guidance to students and staff. The dashboard gave facilities managers visibility into contamination patterns by location and time of day.
The Results
Building Lifelong Green Habits
La Cañada Flintridge's Crestview Preparatory School uses Revi to educate students on proper waste sorting while building sustainable habits from an early age.
The Challenge
As a green-thinking independent school, Crestview Preparatory has long prioritized environmental education as part of their curriculum. However, administrators noticed a disconnect: while students learned about sustainability in the classroom, those lessons weren't translating to action at lunchtime. Younger students in particular seemed unsure about where different items belonged, and the school wanted more than just well-organized bins—they wanted a hands-on tool that would help children truly understand and internalize proper waste disposal habits that would stick with them for life.
The Solution
Crestview partnered with Revisent to deploy Revi devices in the 2nd grade and 5th grade wings. The device's real-time visual feedback instantly captured students' attention—when a child holds up a milk carton or apple core, Revi's LED lights guide them to the correct bin before they toss it. Teachers incorporated the devices into their environmental science lessons, using the dashboard to track how each wing was doing. The 5th graders embraced the responsibility, with some students volunteering as "Revi Ambassadors" to help younger kids at the bins. Meanwhile, the 2nd graders turned sorting into a game, celebrating each successful sort. Within just 30 days of deployment, the impact was clear: proper disposal had become second nature across both wings, with students proudly showing off their sorting skills to parents during pickup.
The Results
Enterprise Corporate Offices
Fortune 500 companies optimize pickup schedules and reduce operational costs with AI-powered waste intelligence.
The Challenge
Large corporate campuses had no visibility into waste patterns across buildings. Fixed pickup schedules led to overflowing bins in some areas and unnecessary trips to others.
The Solution
Revi's fill-level monitoring and composition tracking enabled dynamic route optimization. Facilities teams could see which floors needed attention and adjust pickup frequency accordingly.
