Portable Water Filter for Outdoor Activities & Emergencies

From a simple straw, LifeStraw began as a mesh filter designed to help eradicate Guinea worm disease by removing the parasite from drinking water. For every product purchased, a school child in need receives safe water for a year, embodying LifeStraw's commitment to humanitarian roots and ensuring equitable access to safe water for all.

LifeStraw Home, the brand's latest offering, removes over 30 contaminants, including bacteria, microplastics, and PFAS, in a sleek, award-winning modern design. This evolution from a simple mesh filter to a comprehensive water filtration solution showcases LifeStraw's dedication to innovation and improving water quality.

The company's products are designed to be ultralight and durable, weighing less than 2 ounces (46 g) so they can be easily packed and transported. The long-lasting membrane microfilter can last up to 1,000 gallons (4,000 L) of water, providing enough drinking water for an individual for over 5 years.

LifeStraw's commitment to its humanitarian mission is evident in its impact-driven approach. The company is proud to be a B Corp and Climate Neutral Certified brand, ensuring it meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

LifeStraw's products are designed to protect against 99.999999% of bacteria (including E.coli and Salmonella), 99.999% of parasites (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), and 99.999% of microplastics, silt, sand, and cloudiness. This level of protection makes LifeStraw the ultimate survival tool, with an unlimited shelf life that has been tested all over the globe to face the harshest conditions.

The company's origins can be traced back to 1994, when LifeStraw partnered with The Carter Center to design a simple mesh filter to remove Guinea worm larvae from drinking water. This initial focus on addressing a specific public health issue has since evolved into a comprehensive water filtration solution that serves a broader range of needs, from outdoor adventuring to household use.

LifeStraw's commitment to innovation, environmental stewardship, and social impact sets it apart in the water filtration industry. By ensuring that every purchase has a direct impact on a child in need, LifeStraw demonstrates its holistic approach to improving global water access and quality.
