Larq

LARQ is a hydration company that makes self-cleaning water bottles and filtered pitchers. The LARQ Bottle PureVis uses non-toxic UV-C light to neutralise up to 99.9999% of harmful, odour-causing bacteria, and the range extends to the LARQ Pitcher for tap water filtration and to accessories. It combines technology with design to make clean water available without single-use plastic bottles.

LARQ was founded as a San Francisco startup and now sells internationally, including through a European online store. A portion of every purchase funds environmental non-profits and projects that widen access to drinking water, and the company runs a subscription for replacement bottle and pitcher filters. Its products have featured on Shark Tank and in titles such as Digital Trends and Best Products.
