Innovation from the liquor industry: Agave waste in manufacturing

The liquor industry is embracing sustainability through innovative uses of agave waste.

Used in tequila and mezcal production, agave generates up to 12 liters of organic waste for every liter of tequila produced. 

Recent advancements involve converting agave by-products into biodegradable plastics and other practical materials. This process reduces pollution, lowers the industry’s carbon footprint, and decreases reliance on non-renewable resources. Learn about this fascinating method of upcycling here.
