PENKA is continuously developing new offerings, including custom-made projects. For more information, visit http://www.penka.mx The Penka straws are a world first and an incredible innovation in beverage technology using upcycled waste as opposed to plants and other raw materials.” The past, present, and future of Jose Cuervo is tied directly to the agave plant – without it, we would not exist,” said Alex Coronado, Master Distiller and Head of Operations at Jose Cuervo. “As the tequila industry worldwide booms, it is our company’s responsibility as the leader to take care of the agave plant and ensure that we are producing tequila sustainably. It takes an average of 6 years to grow an agave plant before it is mature enough to harvest for tequila production, and we have to be committed to finding more ways to use the agave fibers once that process is complete. The debut of our biodegradable, agave-based drinking strawsis a new step in utilizing the full potential of this very special Mexican agricultural product.” With plastic straw bans looming in New South Wales and Victoria, the arrival of a brand new, fully biodegradable option into Australia is perfect timing. Jose Cuervo® is a Mexican family-owned brand since 1795 and the largest producer of tequila throughout Mexico and around the world. Utilizing craftsmanship handed down through 11 generations of the Cuervo family, the Jose Cuervo portfolio of tequilas includes Jose Cuervo Especial®, the world’s best-selling tequila, Jose Cuervo Tradicional®, the original 100% agave tequila, Jose Cuervo® Reserva de la Familia®, Jose Cuervo Golden Margarita®, Authentic Jose Cuervo Margaritas® and Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix®.

Working with new partners like BioSolutions Mexico and PENKA marks the beginning of the rapid innovation needed to produce these sustainable items at scale and drive meaningful environmental impact. The straws will be exclusively available in Australia through the Kaddy Marketplace and Kaddy Co-Founder, Rich Coombes, said he was particularly excited about bringing these products to Australia. Founded by Ana Laborde, CEO and Founder of BioSolutions Mexico, and partner Ernesto Amescua, the PENKA production team created the first biodegradable agave-based drinking straw in the world. Jose Cuervo has been innovating with agave fibres for years, partnering with many different leading innovators. Jose Cuervo reached out to BioSolutions/Penka as they had developed the technology to use agave fibres in bio-based plastic alternative items. With this partnership, BioSolutions/Penka can scale their production to begin to make the consumer drinking experience more sustainable. The creation of a biodegradable, agave-based straw is just the start.In 2020, millions of Jose Cuervo biodegradable agave-based straws will be rolled out at bars, restaurants, and Jose Cuervo events across the US and Mexico in a bid to reduce the consumption of regular plastics from the tequila-drinking experience.
