Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Cuemái empowers nature by transforming the Tequila industry’s waste into valuable resources. Every year, millions of tons of agave byproducts are discarded, contributing to soil degradation and environmental waste. By repurposing these materials into sustainable textiles, we not only reduces landfill pressure, also reduces the reliance on synthetic fibers.
