Aquafina is a brand of purified bottled water products produced by PepsiCo,

consisting of both unflavored and flavored water. The Aquafina brand name is
also licensed for use on multiple skin care products, including lip balm and
wrinkle cream. It was first distributed in Wichita, Kansas in 1994, before
becoming more widely sold across the United States, Canada, Spain, Lebanon,
Turkey, the GCC countries, Iran, Egypt, Morocco, Vietnam, Pakistan, and
India to compete with The Coca-Cola Company's Dasani and Dr. Pepper
Snapple's Deja Blue. As of 2009, Aquafina represented 13.4 percent of domestic
bottled water sales in the United States, making it the number one bottled
water brand as measured by retail sales.
Aquafina Pure Water, the primary unflavored product produced under the
Aquafina brand, is derived from local municipal tap water sources and goes
through a purification process that incorporates reverse osmosis, ultraviolet,
and ozone sterilization. Beginning on July 27, 2007, a disclaimer was added to
each bottle of Aquafina, stating the water comes from a "public source". In
Canada, the current 1.5 litres (51 US fl oz) bottle of water displays
"Demineralized Treated Water". In response to concerns amongst environmental
advocates who raised questions over the disclosure of water sources,
a PepsiCo spokeswoman stated, "if this helps clarify the fact that the water
originates from public sources, then it's a reasonable thing to do."
Aquafina is distributed in 12 US fluid ounces (0.35 l), 500 millilitres (17 US fl oz), 20
US fluid ounces (0.59 l), 24 US fluid ounces (0.71 l), 1 litre (34 US fl oz), 1.5 litres
(51 US fl oz) bottles. The bottled water industry has drawn criticism for the
production and distribution of plastic product packaging, which consumes
additional petrochemicals.
The packaging has evolved from its original iteration for the purpose of partially
offsetting environmental impacts of production and shipment. This has primarily
involved packaging weight reduction. The weight of Aquafina bottles was reduced by
approximately 50%, to 10.9 grams (0.38 oz), with a packaging redesign in 2009
which, according to the company, resulted in the use of 75 million fewer pounds of
plastic during the production process.
