CocoVinny Alvidar is an inventor, zero-waste educator, and CEO of CocoTaps. After founding a variety of business ventures over the past 20 years, CocoVinny will spend the rest of his career as The Chief Coconut-In-Charge at CocoTaps.com.
It all started after Vinny broke one of his Dad’s expensive knives trying to open a coconut. He realized there was nothing on the market that offered a no-mess, no-stress way to drink from a coconut that is ocean-safe compostable. No bottles, no cans, no pollution—just fresh tapped coconuts. It’s all about partnering with mother nature with great taste and zero waste.
His goal is to disrupt the status quo and innovate the coconut hydration industry by tapping into resorts, retail, theme parks, and cruise ships. Any places that currently serve artificial plastic packaged and processed coconut water will soon become Coco Taps customers.
CocoVinny has even been featured on The Profit and Shark Tank. Listen in for some takeaways about the journey of an entrepreneur and his passion to create a company that will produce zero waste while hydrating the world.

Bio
Eco-Inventor and Zero Waste Educator and Speaker recently featured on #TheProfit on CNBC and ABC hit TV Show Shark Tank.
CocoVinny has founded and funded a variety of business ventures over the past 20 years. CocoVinny will spend the rest of his career as The Chief Coconut-In-Charge at CocoTaps.com.
Coco Taps is the world's first patented #zerowaste coconut water removal system with ocean safe, backyard compostable Taps, making coconut water fun convenient and better for the planet.
Coco Taps has created the zero waste ultimate vacation beverage B2B distribution that's now in most major 5 star resorts, juice bars, restaurants, and often part of music festivals in Las Vegas and beyond. Our goal is to disrupt the status quo and innovate the coconut hydration industry by tapping into resorts, retail, theme parks, and cruise ships. Any places that currently serve artificial plastic packaged and processed coconut water will soon become Coco Taps customers.
It all started one day when CocoVinny broke his dad's expensive knife while trying to open a coconut. After much research, he realized there was nothing on the market offering a no mess, no stress way to turn a coconut into an all-natural, drinkable & resealable container. Bottled and canned drinks for me never justified all natural taste of coconut water. This is how Coco Taps was born!
