BENEFITS OF A ONE USE KEG
Strong. Lightweight. Economical.
With the new One Use steel KEG, Schaefer has created an innovation that will revolutionize the transportation of beer and wine. Especially in the increasingly important export market, this keg has great benefits, from which both you and your customers will profit: the 30L (7.92 gallons) One Use KEG weighs only 3.3 kg (7.27 lb), works on conventional filling and dispensing equipment and after use can be fully recycled wherever you are – no more time and expense wasted on returning empty kegs! This makes it much more profitable to open up draught beer markets in a much wider field.
A glance at the logistics chain for returnable kegs shows the cost-cutting potential Schaefer’s
One Use Keg actually offers. Time-consuming recovery, cleaning and repairs are
eliminated completely and because you can simply order more One Use Kegs at peak
demand times, storage costs for reusable kegs and consequently your capital tie-up are
also reduced. The KEG’S sleeve and collar also enable optimum brand presentation.

Economy and ecology in harmony
Globalization has long since captured the beer and beverages market – opening up new,
far-away markets is becoming increasingly important in the struggle for international market shares. With their new One Use Kegs, Schaefer has created an effective way to
supply beer over long distances and to consolidate sustainable business operations.
Positive Carbon Footprint
One Use Kegs are considerably lighter than reusable ones and don’t need to be
retrieved at great expense. This has an especially positive effect on the overall
carbon footprint of each individual KEG, particularly over longer distances.
