10 reuse cycles. 2-year oxygen barrier. PPWR-compliant. Compatible with your existing crate-based or bagged returnable system.
Our bottle opens brands up to opportunities that traditional glass bottles can't service. Shatterproof and 85% lighter than glass, PET is approved for venues, stadiums and outdoor events where glass is prohbited. Fill it as a one-way format or integrate it into a reuse scheme.
At 10 reuse cycles per bottle, the cost per use drops significantly below one-way PET and glass. Factor in eliminated return freight costs and PPWR compliance, and the commercial case becomes clear.
For breweries already operating in markets with deposit return schemes — Germany, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and South America — the infrastructure for a reusable loop is already in place.
Beer is covered in the PPWR mandate, meaning reuse in Europe is coming to every member state.
Laboratory tested to withstand the thermal and chemical rigors of 10 full refillable cycles. Compatible with standard crown cork filling lines at up to 30,000 BPH. Available in up to 30% rPET content without compromising structural integrity or oxygen barrier performance.

The reusable beer bottle is engineered for high-speed, automated filling. Tested at up to 30,000 bottles per hour, it fills with few changes to the line. This is the first bottle able to fill, wash and pasteurise using glass filling equipment, making the carbon sensible change easy for brewers.
Two bottle formats, both designed for reuse. Both compatible with crown corks and your existing filling line. Both available with up to 30% rPET content.
