The task was completed this month; over 180 beverage and snack machines now accept bank cards, mobile payment and 49er Account in addition to the usual cash and change.<\/p>\n<p>Almost all campus vending machines offer the upgraded capability. However, there remain a few that do not because the cell signal required for operation in their location is insufficient. Those machines will have card readers that accept the 49er Card. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you know:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>UNC Charlotte has 201 vending machines: 125 beverage, 71 snacks, five coffee.<\/li>\n<li>FY 2018 &#8211; 406,000 items were purchased in snack vending machines<\/li>\n<li>Vending proceeds provide amenities like outdoor seating, tables and patio umbrellas, and support several programs that benefit students, faculty and staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>O2GO comes to SoVi2Go<\/h3>\n<p>Another kind of vending machine, featuring the OZZI\u00ae patented reusable container system, has been installed on the upper level of South Village Crossing. It\u2019s one more step toward a zero-waste goal, offering SoVi2Go an alternative to containers that are disposed after one use.<\/p>\n<p>How it works<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Purchase a BPA-free O2GO container at SoVi2Go. Price is $5.74. You may use campus spending accounts, 49er Account, DB or ODA.<\/li>\n<li>Fill it up with food at SoVi2Go.<\/li>\n<li>EAT!<\/li>\n<li>Return the container to the OZZI machine. No need to wash or rinse it!<\/li>\n<li>The machine will dispense a token.<\/li>\n<li>Next time you go to SoVi2Go, exchange the token for a fresh container<\/li>\n<li>Enjoy your next take-out meal and declare, \u201cNot today, landfill. Not today!\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The OZZI\u00ae machine is a Chartwells Higher Education sustainability initiative that is being rolled out to other university accounts across the country. It only takes a few thousand O2GO containers in rotational use to eliminate 1,000,000 single-use containers ending up as garbage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photo of student loading O2GO container into the OZZI machine\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aux.charlotte.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/167\/2023\/04\/O2Go_1.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photo: after depositing used container, a student gets an OZZI token to be used to get another O2GO container in the future\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aux.charlotte.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/167\/2023\/04\/O2Go_2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No change?
