Toxic, dirty, and downright dangerous water – that's growth material for Swedish startup Helios Innovations.
Helios has just raised €1.2m in seed funding from BackingMinds to help industrial clients tackle wastewater pollution.
"This is very much a cowboy industry," says co-founder Johanna Gillberg.

Industrial wastewater is a messy – and costly – business. Sweden’s Helios Innovations thinks it has the fix: a plug-and-play system that cleans up water polluted with heavy metals, oil sludge, and PFAS, all from a container parked on-site.
“It’s basically a plug-and-play solution,” COO Johanna Gillberg tells Impact Loop. “You connect one pipe for the dirty water and get two out – one for the clean water and one for the waste.”
