The total cost of ownership for Dolium kegs is significantly lower than traditional stainless steel kegs. Stainless steel kegs require €30-60 upfront capital investment per unit, plus ongoing costs for cleaning (water, chemicals, energy), maintenance, tracking systems, insurance, and reverse logistics. Dolium eliminates these costs entirely: no capital investment, no cleaning, no return logistics, no loss prevention costs. For low-rotation markets and export, Dolium typically delivers 30-50% total cost savings compared to traditional keg systems.
