Sustainability in Tequila

As pioneers in this space, the Komos Foundation is committed to giving back to the Tequila region.

Why Tequila?

For every bottle of agave spirits, there is a large amount of waste created. Historically, most of it was not properly disposed of—meaning it ended up in the local waterways where it absorbs oxygen and lowers the pH of the water, not only killing the natural wildlife, but making it undrinkable for the local communities of Tequila.

The town of Tequila and the surrounding appellation have a long and rich history that embraces its namesake drink. With that, there is a huge opportunity for collaboration amongst producers. In that spirit, our goal is to share these sustainability efforts with others and that the community can all work towards a better future together by upcycling waste into building materials for the good of the community.
