The brewery came to us in 2022 looking for a way out of single-use packaging on their wort and finishing-tank transfer. They were buying new totes constantly, scrapping them after one or two fills, and paying for both ends.
Year one we sold them 60 reconditioned 275s and started a quarterly wash + re-cert cycle. Year two we added 60 more, plus a small fleet of stainless 350s for hot-side transfer. Year three we standardized on a 120-tote rolling fleet with a Q1/Q3 wash schedule.
Across 36 months they ran the fleet through 8 wash cycles, replaced 14 cages, and lost only 4 bottles to terminal failure. Compared to their prior buy-new-each-time pattern, they avoided about $48,000 in packaging cost and about 6.4 tCO₂e of manufacturing emissions.
The takeaway: for a heavy, repeat-fill use case, owning a fleet and paying us to wash it is dramatically cheaper than buying new totes.
