Zero-Waste in Every Sip: How Puro Tepache Honors the Earth

At Puro Tepache, we’re passionate not only about creating a refreshing, authentic drink but also about preserving the planet. We believe that sustainable practices can start in the simplest ways—like making sure nothing goes to waste. That’s why our tepache production is designed to be zero-waste from start to finish.

Rescuing Pineapple Rinds: The Start of Our Zero-Waste Story

Most people are familiar with the juicy interior of a pineapple, but at Puro Tepache, we see value in the often-overlooked rinds. We source these rinds, saving them from heading to the landfill, and use them as the cornerstone of our tepache. In doing so, we give these rinds a second life, transforming them into a delicious drink that celebrates the spirit of traditional Mexican tepache.

Composting Every Byproduct

Once we’ve crafted our tepache, there’s still a bit left over—rinds, cinnamon sticks, and other byproducts. Rather than discarding these remnants, we compost them, returning valuable nutrients back to the earth. This process allows us to minimize waste further and contribute to the natural cycle, creating a sustainable system where each part of our production benefits the environment.

A Toast to Sustainable Sipping

Our commitment to zero-waste is about more than just making a great drink; it’s about honoring the resources we have and giving back to the planet. Every sip of Puro Tepache is a toast to the earth, to mindful production, and to a sustainable future. By choosing Puro Tepache, you’re supporting a business that’s dedicated to crafting delicious products with respect for our planet.

Thank you for being part of our journey toward zero waste and sustainable sipping. Together, we’re making a difference, one pineapple rind at a time.
