Bonaqua is a mineralized bottled water brand sold in Hong Kong owned by The Coca-Cola Company and Swire Coca-Cola HK. [1] It is one of the many brands of Coca-Cola bottled water. The term "Bonaqua" stands for "Good water" in Latin ("bona aqua" is read "bonaqua" in Latin because of synaloepha or elision. The homepage states incorrectly that it comes from French [1] , but "good water" in French is "bonne eau"). The product is filtered, mineralized and bottled.

Minerals

In 2021, "Bonaqua" released a new label-less version of bottled water which was sold in Hong Kong and later in Taiwan in mid-2022. aimed at being more environmentally-friendly. The new label-less design uses rPET rather than the conventional PET used in its regular version. [4] The new label-less bottle design is also 52.8% lighter than the regular version. [4]
