Case studies

Our case studies show how instarinse® is already transforming reuse in workplaces, campuses and venues. These are only the beginning. As we grow with new partners and sites we will keep adding stories, results and insights.

Sodexo at Scottish Parliament

Exterior of Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh, a hub for policy discussions on sustainability and reusables.
The challenge

Sodexo at Scottish Parliament already had strong reuse rates in its main café, but wanted to go further. One of the biggest challenges from customers was simple: where to wash their cups.

What we did

We installed instarinse® in the main café, providing staff training and support. impactOS tracked adoption and savings, while clear communication made reuse visible and easy for both staff and visitors.

The results

Not only did customers embrace reuse, staff did too, praising instarinse® for being easy to use, clean and look after. Adoption rose further, disposable cups were reduced, and measurable savings were delivered.

Why it worked
  • instarinse® delivered a hygienic rinse in seconds.

  • Staff satisfaction increased as operation was simple and disruption free.

  • impactOS reporting gave managers live visibility of progress and measurable impact.

What’s next

Parliament plans to expand its reuse efforts even further, with instarinse® at the heart of creating a culture of sustainability across the estate.

Brunel University

Modern glass-fronted university building with landscaped surroundings and pedestrian walkway in the sun.
The challenge

Brunel University wanted to make reuse part of everyday life across all cafés, including Costa and Starbucks. Students were eager to engage, but rinsing options were limited and staff were stretched.

What we did

We worked with Brunel to introduce instarinse® across every café on campus. Installation was smooth and disruption free. From the first day, students and staff could see immediate progress and benefits.

The results

Reuse adoption more than doubled, rising from 3.8% to 8.2% in Phase 1. Thousands of cups were saved, staff satisfaction improved, and measurable savings in resources and impact were achieved.

Why it worked
  • instarinse® delivers fast, hygienic rinsing with high temperature steam, removing barriers to reuse.

  • Clear communication and simple design made reuse visible and easy, encouraging participation from both staff and students across campus.

What’s next

Brunel is targeting majority reuse by 2027 across campus, aiming to save tens of thousands of cups. With instarinse® now in place for the new academic year, reuse is set to become the new campus standard.

Elior UK Headquarters

Coffee station with recycling bins, instarinse cup cleaning machine and digital signage promoting sustainability.
The challenge

At Elior’s head office, the goal was clear: remove single use completely. Staff were ready to change, but success depended on reliable systems, clear monitoring, and everyday ease.

What we did

We introduced instarinse® on site, supported by impactOS. The installation was quick, the transition seamless. Staff training and communication were simple, while real time data gave managers confidence from the start.

The results

Staff switched to reuse without difficulty, eliminating disposable cups on site. impactOS tracked progress and savings, providing visibility of adoption. With over 15,000 cups rinsed in 8 months, costs fell, resources were saved, and sustainability targets moved closer.

Why it worked
  • instarinse® delivered fast and hygienic rinsing with high temperature steam.

  • impactOS dashboards showed live performance and trends.

  • Clear reporting helped managers prove impact, while staff enjoyed an easier daily experience.

What’s next

Elior now plans to extend instarinse® across more of its sites. With impactOS providing insight and accountability, the business is embedding reuse into culture and scaling success across operations.
