Salford-based refill-station startup H2Origin Refills is set to expand its network of smart water refill points after securing new investment from water hygiene specialist HydraClean.
The backing for the firm, which was on the GM Business Growth Hub’s first edition of its ASCEND Programme, follows earlier backing from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).
The funding will accelerate the rollout of its technology across public spaces, workplaces, universities and leisure destinations as demand for sustainable, refillable alternatives to bottled water rises.
