"environmentally friendly" product.

So I came across this article on the abc website:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-22/food-processing-waste-recycled-as-premium-bottled-water/7325790

Food processing waste recycled as premium bottled water AquaBotanical

This article states that"A watery by-product of fruit and vegetable processing, which used to end up in the sewerage system, is now being served at restaurants as premium drinking water."

"When fresh produce is condensed and turned into concentrate, he collects the water that is removed and purifies it so it is fit for drinking.While he says the process would work for most fruit and vegetables, his early aqua creations have come mainly from carrots and grapes."

Although I believe the intention is good--- to recycle a waste product or a by-product of another food-based application, it simultaneously created another waste: bottled water. As I mentioned before in my journal, bottled water is doing absolutely no good to the environment. 

These plastic water bottles take literally forever to decompose, it is worse if they got incinerated. in many developing country such as india, plastic bottles has become a major environmental problem, because many developed countries ship their waste to these countries, where only 20% of plastic bottles are recycled. 

I am not sure what price tag this product would be put on, but I would imaging it would be much more expensive than an ordinary bottled water, hence I doubt that profit didn't play a major role in his invention.
