My money is that someone will start pitching it as a green alternative. Dry / powered soaps are hot again because you’re not shipping and storing a bunch of water.
If coke was smart, they would’ve put this green and brown tube, and called it “Juice, by Ecofruit”
Energy wise it’s a wash whether it’s concentrated or not. Concentrated requires reducing it which is just boiling it down (under a vacuum apparently to reduce temps needed), and then freezing during transportation. Non-concentrated weighs more so more energy for transportation and more packaging, and still needs cooling. So they come out comparable afaik.
I don’t believe that. On electric vehicles, 90% of the energy is used to move the thing. A charged EV battery can power a standard household worth of appliances for two days.
Furthermore, the energy expenditure to dehydrate the concentrate is a one-time b cost, whereas transportation cost increases with distance.
What I DO believe is that manufacturers see transportation as less of a cost, because they offload it to distribution networks.

Do you have any idea how much energy is needed to boil something down? It’s a shit ton.
As for distance, you know they can do the calculations for a country right?
This is not a calculation by the manufacturer. You’re weaving around everything.
I would filter concentrate it. But that’s just me.
I think it would clog up the filter pretty damn quickly. Ps You’d need reverse osmosis, which clogs up even with mostly clean water.
