About LifeStraw

LifeStraw makes water filtration and purification products, including pitchers, dispensers, bottles, tumblers, straws, gravity filters and high-volume purifiers, intended for use at home, while travelling, outdoors and in emergency situations. Its products are built around hollow fibre membrane technology, with some models adding activated carbon and other methods to address chemicals, lead, chlorine and, in select cases, viruses. The brand sells directly to consumers online, offering individual products, replacement filters and bundles for different use cases.

LifeStraw positions itself around science-based testing and transparency, describing a four-step quality control process and referencing WHO, US EPA, NSF and WQA-aligned protocols validated in an ISO-certified in-house lab. It is a certified B Corp and describes itself as a Climate Neutral brand. A central part of its offer is a Give Back programme, under which each purchase is linked to providing a year of safe water to a child in need, alongside broader initiatives such as humanitarian response and Guinea worm eradication work referenced on its site.
