Responding to the market need for a low-cost and single-trip container for bulk beverages, EcoKeg was founded in 2002 in Melbourne, Australia. EcoKeg purchased the existing patents for the technology of One-Way-Kegs (OWKs), which was in early development at Carlton & United Breweries Ltd. (Division of the Foster’s Group Limited).
With the patent successfully acquired, EcoKeg formed strategic alliances with a number of companies in the brewing & packaging industries. In March 2003 after registering additional patents, EcoKeg revealed the first working model OWK. Many brewers and beverage producers have committed to field trialling the OWK, having seen the benefits. The technology for an OWK made primarily from plastics is absolutely new, innovative and therefore unique.
The OWK is available NOW from the licensed manufacturers in nigel [at] ecokeg [dot] com (Europe), Taiwan and Australia.
The OWK solution is supported by a group of founders who have extensive backgrounds in the brewing and beverage industries.
Very important information for current model Ecokeg
