LifeStraw Tackles Tap Water Contamination

As the world’s water supply becomes more compromised with surging plastic pollution (microplastics), chemical contaminants, chlorine and lead, LifeStraw expands its suite of water filtration products with the debut of the LifeStraw Home Water Filter Pitcher. The LifeStraw Home filtration pitcher protects against microplastics, bacteria, parasites, lead, mercury and chemical matter including pesticides and herbicides, while also reducing chlorine and improving taste, said the company. The affordable LifeStraw Home is crafted from sustainable materials and is previewing on Kickstarter with a campaign that ends at midnight on March 25, 2019.

“As LifeStraw evolves its global commitment to deliver clean drinking water, Kickstarter immediately rose as an ideal platform to both extend awareness of water contamination and highlight technology advancements consumers may not realize exist,” said Alison Hill, managing director of LifeStraw. “We are excited to galvanize the support of backers through the Kickstarter community to reach wider audiences with our technology and to further support our mission to deliver safe water around the world.”
