Botanical Water Technologies, using Water Harvesting Units, recovers and purifies water from vegetables and fruit at processing plants, transforming previously discarded liquid into safe drinking water. In California, BWT partners with Ingomar Packing Company to reclaim up to 400,000 liters daily during tomato season—a process so effective, “no additional treatments” are required for quality.

Water once wasted during vegetable and fruit processing now pours forth as potable thanks to BWT’s clever Water Harvesting Units. If scaled to 10,000 facilities, the tech could supply 3 trillion liters of clean water yearly, easing aquifer strain and conjuring a world where your next glass might hail from a tomato’s lost tears.

In just one California tomato plant, BWT’s system recovers up to 100,000 gallons of water a day—enough to quench an entire small town’s thirst, all from what was once factory runoff.
