Why partner with TUW

What it does for your dairy

Four reasons dairies choose to distribute through The Udder Way — and stay.

01

Brand Visibility

Your dairy’s brand is front and centre at the point of pour — displayed on TUW’s
digital screens on café counters across every venue we supply. No private-label erasure,
no anonymity. Your identity travels with your milk.

02

Sustainability Proof

Real numbers, not greenwashing. Every delivery generates ESG data — plastic eliminated,
CO₂ avoided, reuse cycles logged. Share it with your own buyers and B-corp reporting.

03

Venue Relationships

We manage the logistics. You get the outcome: your milk in premium hospitality venues
that choose on quality and provenance — and keep coming back.

04

Commercial Intelligence

Access to pour data, venue performance, and keg cycle analytics through the TUW platform.
Know exactly where your product is and how it’s moving.

Unpackit Awards

Unpackit Awards 2026

Australia’s Best Packaging.

The Udder Way’s reusable keg system was recognised as Australia’s most innovative packaging solution —
eliminating single-use plastic at scale across the country’s best cafés and venues.

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.

“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.”

The Journey

From dairy to cup — and back again.

Fresh milk. Sealed and registered.

Milk is filled into HACCP-certified, food-grade reusable kegs at the dairy. Every fill is digitally logged as a job and registered to the keg in the TUW platform — volume, date, and batch. Traceability starts at the source.

Available in 12L and 18L formats. Fits standard commercial fridges.

Every keg has a digital identity.

Before the keg leaves the dairy, it’s scanned and linked to your venue in real time. The TUW platform logs the keg’s journey from this moment — so you always know where it is, when it was filled, and what’s inside.

Full chain-of-custody from fill to return. No manual logging needed.

Tracked through every delivery.

Kegs are delivered directly to the venue — no single-use waste entering the chain. Temperature and delivery status are monitored in transit. The venue receives a notification when the keg is on its way.

No new logistics partner required. Works with your existing supply chain.

Collected, cleaned, and back in the loop.

When the keg is empty it’s collected, returned to the dairy, and washed to food-grade standard. The same keg re-enters the system — tracked, verified, and ready for the next fill. No waste. No loss. Just the loop.

Each keg is designed for 1,000+ use cycles over a 15+ year lifespan.
