What is DASANI?

DASANI is a brand of purified water manufactured and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company®.

How is DASANI made?

To create DASANI water, we start with the local water supply, which is then filtered for purity using a state-of-the-art process called reverse osmosis. Afterwards, we add a special blend of minerals for that pure, crisp, fresh taste.

What is the difference between spring water and purified water?

Purified water is water that has been filtered through reverse osmosis or other suitable methods to render it purified. Spring water is water from an underground source. Both are filtered for impurities.

What is the shelf life of DASANI?

DASANI will hold its crisp, fresh taste for up to 12 months. After that, it’s best to recycle the old one and start with a fresh, new bottle.

Are DASANI bottles BPA free?

Yes! Dasani plastic bottles are recyclable and do not contain Bisphenol-A (BPA).

Can I drink DASANI if I’m on a low-sodium diet?

The amount of sodium in DASANI is negligible and the Food and Drug administration classifieds DASANI as a ‘very low sodium food.’

Are the minerals in DASANI safe to drink?

The Coca-Cola Company® takes product safety very seriously and is dedicated to meeting, and in most cases exceeding, government-set regulatory product quality standards. After our water goes through the reverse osmosis process to remove impurities, DASANI adds a variety of minerals, including salt, to create the crisp fresh taste you know and love. Although we are unable to disclose the exact quantities of minerals added to our water, we can tell you that the amounts of these minerals (including salt) are so minuscule that the US Food and Drug Administration considers them negligible or ‘dietarily insignificant’.

Is my DASANI bottle recyclable?

Yes. The DASANI bottle is recyclable. In fact, during the initial design process we worked closely with recyclers to optimize the DASANI package for recycling.

What is The Coca-Cola Company doing to minimize waste from product packaging and avoid placement in landfills?

We know the packaging that we place in the market has the potential to become waste and that is why we are working to support the recycling and reuse of our bottles and cans in the best way possible. To us, waste prevention extends beyond simply reducing packaging material. We also focus on optimizing packaging efficiency; increasing renewable material use; recovering packages for reuse; and increasing recycled material use. Want to learn more? Read here.

How is The Coca-Cola Company conserving water?

The Coca-Cola Company is conserving water in a number of ways, including reducing water used to make or beverages, recycling water use in our production process, and supporting projects that replenish water in communities and nature with the World Wildlife Fund. We are working long-term to achieve water neutrality, in other words to safely return to communities and nature an amount of water equivalent to what we use in all of our beverages and their production, all to help ensure a clean, reliable water supply for all generations to come.

What is reverse osmosis?

Reverse osmosis technology is used to purify DASANI water. Reverse osmosis moves water at a high pressure through a filtration process which further removes impurities. After the reverse osmosis process is complete, purified water is treated by UV light disinfection as an additional safety measure.

What is rPET?

Before learning about rPET, it is important to understand PET. PET stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate. Polyethylene Terephthalate is a clear, strong and lightweight plastic belonging to the polyester family and made from petroleum byproducts. When used for fibers or fabrics it is often called “polyester”, but when used for bottles, containers and packaging applicants it is referred to as PET. PET is the top packaging choice for many foods and beverages because it is strong, lightweight, shatterproof, and it retains freshness. When PET is recycled, it can be broken down, washed, cleaned and reground into small flakes that are used to make new PET bottles and other products. These recycled flakes are known as Recycled PET (rPET) and sold as a raw material to be made into clothing, carpets, or back into bottles that can then be recycled over and over again. The use of rPET in beverage bottles creates a closed loop, bottle to bottle system in which recycled polymers replace the use of virgin polymers.
