Ecodraft Kegs:
Fresh Taste as
intended by the brewer

“The beverage market has grown tremendously thanks to the evolution of the craft brewing industry. End-consumers are experiencing many different flavors by which they are pickier on what they drink. Fresh taste stays priority when choosing a drink on tap. Together with our team we bring a solution forward that enhances on taste, the environment and waste management for brewers”, says CEO Ulrich Weckx."

A keg for different kind of beverages

Nowadays, there is a lot of choice between kegs on tap, whereby most of the brewers know stainless-steel solutions and single-use kegs. Ecodraft, the new keg of the future, walks the keg line with features of both, by which it was initially created for the beer industry in order to bring four main solutions that were still missing in the brewing industry:

1. The prevention of losing kegs due to export and its remaining deposit value (cashflow).

2. The preservation of fresh taste on tap.

3. The prevention on water consumption for rinsing used kegs.

4. The reduction of the ecological footprint, CO₂ and energy, for recycling products.

10L Kegs

Ecodraft started with the development of the 10L keg to meet the needs of the home brewers and small businesses. Some call it the babykeg, others will name it the party keg for inhouse events.

18L Kegs

The 18L keg was optimized to add under the bar cooling, its long slender form makes it possible to directly connect it to the tap, straight under the bar fridge.

The 30L keg is the biggest player from the re-usable Ecodraft collection with regard to volume. The large display space allows to give the premium beverage its final quality touch and prestige.

Why choose Ecodraft?

Financial win:

Ecodraft kegs don’t have a residual value. “Most of our brewers make sure that the deposit value equals the cost of packaging. When kegs are getting lost during export, you don't need to worry about negative cashflows."

Fresh drink on tap:

By separating the pressure medium completely from the beverage, the keg supplier protects the preservation of the taste to the fullest.

Patented double bag system:

Ecodraft only recycles its double bag system, which is 5% of the entire keg. This means that brewers don’t have to put a lot of effort to rinse their kegs. When replacing the double bag system, they always refill 100% sterile.

Transportation:

Reusable kegs need to be reused, obviously. Brewers don’t always like to retrieve their kegs or work with a distribution platform. However, Ecodraft noticed that brewers still collect the kegs, even though it’s a one-way deal. Therefore, they are working on a platform by which kegs can stay in the country of export. This is called a No Ownership whereby the kegs can receive the same reusable purpose as for import.

Suitable for different kind of beverages:

While Ecodraft is relatively new with their ‘Keg of the Future’, they can proudly say that that their reusable kegs are also a perfect fit for other beverages on tap such as wine, cocktails, cold coffee and kombucha.

Quote from our CEO

“It’s challenging to launch an innovative product in a beverage market where steel kegs and PET one-ways already have an established value. It is a continuous process of engineering and team empowerment to create the Ecodraft Keg. Thanks to the beliefs and feedback of our customers and our personnel, we continuously invest in improvements, new technologies and well-trained staff.”
