As the problem of keg and cask losses has grown, it has become apparent that an industry accredited and audited system for disposing of casks and kegs is essential to reduce the risk of misappropriation and enhance the chances of a successful prosecution in the event of illicit handling and disposing of containers.

The objective of the attached best practice is to ensure:

• Containers are only sold or scrapped by the containers’ legitimate owner or their appointed representative.
• Containers sold for scrapping are actually scrapped.

Kegwatch Ltd, on behalf of the industry, will carry out the accreditation process. Once completed, details will be posted on the BBPA website. If you would like to nominate your existing scrap dealer for accreditation, then please contact Andy Tighe here. However, please firstly ensure that they are fully aware of the requirements set out in the Technical Circular.

This good practice protocol has been agreed by the BBPA Brand Owners and Brewers Group and endorsed by the BBPA Council. Whilst we would recommend that brewers use only accredited scrap yards, the scheme is entirely voluntary and brewers are in no way obliged to do so.
