Providing COLO with Minimal IP waste?

Howdy,

The company I work with currently offers COLO for its customers in the SMB market. To date the customer would either be provided a small subnet /30 /29 etc. A vast majority of the customers who want COLO only need 1-2 IPs. For this we have a big shared subnet and inform the customer their gateway and usable IPs. This hasnt posed any issues yet although as you can imagine its just asking for future issues with individuals being able to use IPs that are not necessarily their own.

How would you best approach providing minimal IPs without wasting the additional IPs to create dedicated subnets?
