UniKeg: A Sustainable, Cost-Saving Packaging Solution for Breweries

For breweries looking for a smarter, more sustainable way to package and distribute their beer, UniKeg, produced by OneCircle, offers the ideal solution. As the inventor and leading manufacturer of sustainable, lightweight, circular PET kegs, OneCircle has engineered UniKeg to provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional steel kegs, combining premium quality, ease of use, and environmental benefits. Its lightweight design, featuring a traditional spear and Sankey D connection, ensures full compatibility with existing equipment, allowing seamless integration into your filling and tapping processes. With UniKeg, breweries can streamline operations without compromising on performance or sustainability.

Why More Breweries Are Choosing UniKeg

UniKeg is revolutionizing the way craft beer is transported. With its lightweight, one-way design, it eliminates many of the logistical and financial challenges associated with traditional stainless steel kegs—no more cleaning, no deposit systems, and no return shipments.

Unlike steel kegs, which require extensive cleaning, UniKeg arrives pre-sterilized through irradiation, ready to be filled. Say goodbye to costly keg washers, water waste, and hours of labor spent on cleaning.

UniKeg is not only lightweight but also stackable, making it an ideal choice for optimizing storage space. This design significantly reduces shipping costs and fuel consumption, making it easier and more affordable to send your beer across borders.

Double-Wall™ Technology provides superior protection

When it comes to durability, UniKeg’s Double-Wall™ Technology provides superior protection during transport—even on the most rugged routes. This unique design makes UniKeg strong and resistant to damage, making it ideal for highly carbonated beverages or distribution over long and unpredictable terrain. Just ask Collin Corrigan of Cervecería Transpeninsular, a well-known craft brewery in Mexico:

“UniKeg gives me the assurance of our product arriving in excellent condition over rough and unknown roads. That is what matters to me most. The roads to remote areas in Mexico are not suitable for cold chain transport and trucks with steel kegs are too heavy. With UniKeg I now have a strong, high quality, reliable one-way keg that keeps my beer fresh—even on difficult journeys. And because it’s a one-way-keg, there is no transport loop, which saves on transport costs.”
