Eco-Thinking 2.0:
Changing your ecological mindset
Ecodraft started as a one-way keg company but noticed the 100% waste of these packagings. A reinvention took place which resulted in the ‘ecological keg of the future’.
Ecodraft implemented a new way of eco-thinking. “For generations, we have lived in a recycling bubble. But should we still emphasize recycling, or should we change our eco-thinking to the first three steps of the Waste Hierarchy?” Thereby meaning:
Step 1: Prevent
Ecodraft prevents the consumption of water and chemicals for rinsing kegs. Why spending time on cleaning kegs when you love to brew?
Step 2: Reduce
Ecodraft stopped the production of one-ways by which they reduced on waste disposal. Generally, the company benefits on the reduction of energy and CO2 for recycling.
Step 3: Reuse
Ecodraft reuses 95% of their reusable kegs, by which 5% comes in the recycling cycle. Therefore, the double bag system is a well appreciated technology which helps the waste problematic worldwide.
Step 4: Recycling
Ecodraft believes that the better ecological thinking is reusing a product and postpone the recycle process till the end of its lifespan. This brings also more time efficiency forward between the global waste management process and the amount of waste that can be processed per month.

Ecodraft focuses on the Waste Hierarchy
Already changing your mindset about recycling and focusing more on the first three stages of the Waste Hierarchy (Prevent, Reduce and Reuse) would be a good step forward in helping the waste problematic worldwide.

Quote from our CEO
“The beverage market has grown tremendously thanks to the evolution of craft breweries. 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”
