Ecofiltro water purifier

Ecofiltro is a social enterprise founded with the mission of providing clean drinking water to both urban and rural populations. The product was invented by Guatemalan scientist José Fernando Mazariegos in the early 1980s. The filter uses a natural composite of clay, sawdust, and colloidal silver to eliminate bacteria and parasites through sustainable gravity filtration.

The brand operates as a social business model where sales in urban areas subsidize the distribution and lower costs of filters for rural families. This approach has allowed the company to scale significantly while maintaining its core social mission. All primary manufacturing takes place in Guatemala, with the brand expanding its presence across Latin America, Asia, and Africa through local partnerships and distribution networks following the same eco-friendly philosophy.
