A high-profile North West football club was managing the purchase, storage and logistics of over 400 cases of bottled water to keep players and staff hydrated across its stadium and training ground. The arrangement was costly, operationally inefficient, and generating significant plastic waste at a time when scrutiny from fans, sponsors and governing bodies was growing.
H2Origin installed smart, mains-connected refill stations across the club’s facilities, delivering chilled, filtered water at 80 litres per hour enough to handle peak demand without delay.
IoT dashboards track usage, bottles avoided and CO2 saved in real time, giving the club measurable evidence for ESG reporting. Units are co-branded with club colours, making hydration a visible sustainability asset rather than a logistical afterthought.
The club now avoids more than 10,000 single-use plastic bottles each year, cutting approximately 830 kg of Scope 3 CO2e emissions annually. Bottled water costs and the operational burden of managing supply have been eliminated. For a club where performance and reputation both matters, it’s a straightforward switch with a measurable return.
