HONG KONG SAR -
Media OutReach - 26 May 2022 - Bonaqua®, the leading bottled water brand[1],
is bringing its first individual sale label-less bottled water anywhere
in the world to shelves across all channels in Hong Kong. The
potentially game-changing design uses fewer packaging materials and
improves bottle recyclability.
Bonaqua® is celebrating the official launch of this innovative product
at a five-day Bonaqua® Green Market Fair at Central Market. Featuring a
series of exhibits and giant Bonaqua® bottled water photo spots, it will
introduce the concept of Water For Tomorrow and encourage sustainable
development in Hong Kong. The public can sign up for Eco workshops
curated by local artists who use eco-friendly materials for sustainable
lifestyles.
Bonaqua's First Individual Sale Label-less Bottled Water Anywhere in the World
The locally produced Bonaqua® Mineralized Water uses 100% rPET for production, and makes its bottle 52.8%[2]
lighter than the conventional PET bottle. Using laser incising
technology to highlight product information on the bottle and having a
bottle cap (also smaller than the conventional bottle cap) with a sales
barcode enables individual sale of the products. The design and the
products' broader availability allows more Hong Kong consumers to
participate in building a world without waste. The effort echoes
Bonaqua®'s commitment to sustainable solutions and inspiring more
consumers to adopt sustainable lifestyles.
New Green Community Program Is About to Start
Bonaqua® is committed to promoting sustainable development throughout
the years, e.g. conducting community sustainability awareness campaigns,
e.g., the 'Power of Less' campaign. This year, partnering with its
bottling partner Swire Coca-Cola Hong Kong, Bonaqua® will contribute HK$
2 million for piloting a community packaging waste recovery program
aiming to collect and recycle used bottles or cans in a more efficient
approach.
Green Market Fair Promotes Sustainable Lifestyles
Bonaqua® is delighted to present the inaugural Green Market Fair, to be
held at the Steam Hub on the first floor of Central Market from 26 to 30
May 2022. It will feature a series of exhibits and various workshops,
allowing visitors to practice recycling and sustainable living. Four Eco
workshops, curated by local artists to highlight the potential use of
sustainable materials in handicraft, art, and fashion.
"As Hong Kong's most popular bottled water brand, it's a bold move for
Bonaqua® to pilot the launch of its individual sale label-less bottled
water anywhere in the world. We are indeed championing a potentially
game-changing form of future packaging. By making the Bonaqua label-less
bottled water available to a broader range of customers, we would like
to invite more consumers to take part in building a world without waste.
By going label-less, Bonaqua is enhabling the 'Power of Less'," says
Tim Warwick, Vice President of Operations for Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and Mongolia at The Coca-Cola Company.
"As Coca-Cola's bottling partner, we will continue to leverage our
expertise and develop new manufacturing technologies so as to offer
consumers even more eco-friendly beverage choices. We weave
sustainability into the fabric of our endeavors, including design,
sourcing, production and delivery. It is our mission to contribute to a
more sustainable way of living," says
Connie Yeung, Director and General Manager of Swire Coca-Cola HK.
