The Loop

How reusable milk kegs work

Simple, circular, and built to scale. Here’s the journey from dairy to cup and back again.

Step 01

Dairy fills the keg

Fresh milk goes straight into a HACCP-certified reusable keg. Sealed, chilled, labelled with a digital ID.

Step 02

Delivered to your café

Keg tracked through delivery. Temperature monitored. Your venue receives it ready to tap – no bottles, no waste.

Step 03

Customers scan, connect

Customers scan the keg to meet the dairy, see the impact numbers, and know exactly where their milk came from.

Step 04

Keg returns. Loop repeats.

Empty keg collected, washed to food-grade standard, returned to the dairy. The same keg does it again – 20+ times.

Real Numbers. Live Data.

The plastic we’ve already eliminated.

We don’t estimate. Every keg cycle is tracked and published. Here’s what the TUW network has achieved since we launched – updated daily from our platform.

Unpackit Awards
Australia’s Best Packaging · 2026

We won Australia’s Best Packaging.

Hundreds of nominations assessed by packaging, plastics, waste and pollution experts across the country. The Udder Way was named Australia’s Best Packaging 2026 – the first reusable milk keg system to receive the award.

“This is a great example of packaging innovation that delivers both environmental benefits – through bulk delivery, reuse and recycling – and efficiency improvements for its business customers.”

Helen Lewis
Unpackit Expert Panel · 2026

“The Udder Way has taken one of Australia’s most everyday products and completely rethought the system around it. Smart, practical and genuinely behaviour-changing – this is packaging redesign that works for the real world.”

Murray Richards
Unpackit Expert Panel · 2026

“It is completely normal to supply beer in reusable kegs. The Udder Way is showing industry leadership supplying milk in bulk reusable containers. With so many benefits, soon we’ll wonder why we did it any differently.”
