Based in Melbourne, Australia, re.fil connects people to places they can re.fil their own water bottles using a smart phone app and signage at re.fil stations. Taking advantage of Melbourne’s excellent tap water a re.fil station can be anywhere there is a tap, for example a park, cinema, cafe or school. Businesses can become re.fil stations, selling tap or filtered re.fils for a nominal price. They will benefit from increased trade and promotion through the re.fil network.
