History of the Komos Foundation

In the early 2000’s, Komos co-CEO and master distiller Richard Betts pioneered the process to use agave waste to create adobe bricks that are utilized in the community to build local infrastructure. In 2019, Richard and Tequila Komos launched the Komos Foundation in collaboration with their distillery partners.

Today, our Director of Operations for the Komos Foundation, Elias Campollo, is on the ground leading the charge in Tequila, with the ambition to get as many other Tequileros involved as possible.

Problem Solving

Problem 1:
Waste Creation

Just like in any industry, production generates byproduct and tequila is no different. The problem is not in the generation of the byproducts, but what we do with it that really matters.

Solution 1:
Asset Creation

Reframe and repurpose the byproducts to generate an asset in the form of adobes or construction materials.

← Show Problem

Problem 2:
Waste Disposal

Sometimes the byproducts are not properly disposed of which can have an impact on the water and the environment.

Solution 2:
Remove Need for Disposal

By creating an asset out of the byproducts or waste, we create a second life and opportunities where there were none before.

← Show Problem

Problem 3:
Impacted Community

The communities that once depended on these bodies of water that are now polluted have to resort to other options like bottled water or soft drinks.

Solution 3:
Build Community

Create a unified community by building classrooms, bathrooms, dining halls, and more. or whatever they need, all while getting to know each other and having a strong bond with a sense of belonging.
