​A young Austrian farmer stumbles upon the incredible, pristine beaches of Aruba... 

Born from the passionate vision of Mr. Ewald Biemans, A.E.S. All Environmental Solutions, operating under the name Tara Eco Supplies is steeped in a rich history of environmental stewardship and pioneering sustainable practices. Ewald's love for nature was sown during his formative years on his family's farm in Austria. The lure of the Caribbean's pristine beauty led him to Aruba's untouched beaches, where he felt a profound connection with the environment

Observing the detrimental repercussions of unchecked overdevelopment during the 80s and 90s, Ewald pledged his unwavering dedication to the preservation of our natural world. This commitment positioned him as a pioneer and trailblazer in the Caribbean's green movement, inspiring a new era of environmental stewardship. His dedication birthed Tara Eco Supplies, a venture aimed at equipping hospitality businesses across the Caribbean with eco-certified products and specialized expertise. 

Carrying forward this legacy of environmental stewardship with continued vigor is Ewald's granddaughter, Crescenzia Biemans, who joined the enterprise in 2020. Together, they are revolutionizing the company's outreach and portfolio, incorporating innovative and sustainable brands and products. 

Today, Ewald's influence extends far beyond Aruba. His grassroots initiatives in promoting sustainable tourism have earned him recognition throughout the global hospitality industry. Not only has his resort been voted as the #1 Hotel in the Caribbean, #18 Best Hotel in The World, and the only Caribbean hotel to be named in the Top 20 Best Hotels in the World list on TripAdvisor in 2023, but it also has the unique distinction of being the first and only CarbonNeutral® certified resort in the Caribbean. Its exceptional commitment to environmental sustainability places it among the world's most eco-certified resorts. In 2021, Ewald marked another milestone as one of the first signatories of the Glasgow Declaration for Climate Action in Tourism. Adding to its list of accolades, Bucuti & Tara stands as the first and only resort globally to be awarded the prestigious United Nations Climate Action Now Award

These milestones clearly illustrate that luxury and sustainability aren't merely coexistent, but also mutually enhancing in the hospitality industry, marking a crucial turning point for all of us to welcome change. At Tara Eco Supplies, we extend an invitation to join us on an inspiring journey towards safeguarding our planet, preserving its precious resources, and blazing a trail towards a greener future. With unwavering commitment, we stand prepared to serve your enterprise by providing the sustainable products it requires. Together, let us embrace the imperative of environmental stewardship and shape a world where sustainability thrives.
