History

All Environmental Solutions (A.E.S), now operating under the name Tara Eco Supplies, was founded in 2007 by Mr. Ewald Biemans, Aruba’s well-known environmentalist and hotelier. Environmental preservation is a longstanding passion he carries, and he has become a pioneer of the Caribbean’s green movement. He is known throughout the hospitality industry for his grassroots efforts in promoting sustainable tourism. His resort, Bucuti & Tara, is the first and only resort in the Caribbean that has been Certified CarbonNeutral® and has many other eco-certifications, such as ISO 14001, Green Globe Platinum, Travelife Gold & LEED Gold.

He founded Tara Eco Supplies to help him create awareness among others about the dangers of global warming, which will undoubtedly and disproportionately affect the Caribbean. After all, small coastal communities with ocean-dependent economies fraught with inadequate waste management systems are far more vulnerable to the impacts of plastic waste than their larger, more industrialized counterparts. Since its inception, Tara Eco Supplies has been the market leader in supplying all small and major hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, and many other businesses on the island with eco-friendly products.
