Advancing circular water use and resource efficiency through real-time water recirculation technologies, reducing water consumption, energy use, and emissions across residential, commercial, and institutional environments.
To position Orbital Systems as a global leader in circular water technology, enabling households and businesses to drastically reduce water and energy consumption while accelerating the transition toward sustainable, resource-efficient infrastructure systems.
Orbital Systems Inc. is a Sweden-founded cleantech company, established in 2012 by Mehrdad Mahdjoubi following a research collaboration between NASA and Lund University. The company develops advanced technologies that purify and recirculate water in real time, redefining how water is used in everyday life.
Its core products, the Orbital Shower and Orbital Tap, deliver up to 90% water savings and 80% energy savings, with rapid payback periods of one to three years. Designed to integrate seamlessly into daily routines, these solutions combine strong environmental impact with user comfort and cost efficiency.
Orbital’s long-term vision is to fundamentally change global water consumption habits, reducing average daily usage from over 100 liters per person to approximately 20 liters, without compromising the user experience.
The company operates across multiple international markets and has evolved into a commercially scaling platform, supported by a growing orderbook and pipeline. Its hardware-led, platform-based model integrates product sales, installation services, and long-term customer relationships, targeting both large-scale clients and residential users.
At the core of its innovation is the Orbital Technology Platform (OTP), enabling continuous product development and future scalability.
SPOROS Platform’s investment supports the company’s next growth phase, including commercial scaling, product development, and expansion into Greece, a market with strong demand driven by water scarcity, rising energy costs, and a robust hospitality sector.
Circular Economy Impact
Orbital Systems addresses water scarcity by enabling real-time water recirculation, significantly reducing water use, energy demand, and emissions.
Its solutions extend the lifecycle of water resources within buildings, minimize waste at the point of use, and reduce pressure on infrastructure systems. By combining circular design with advanced monitoring and responsible material practices, the company contributes to more efficient and sustainable use of resources.
Orbital Systems represents a scalable solution for sustainable water management, supporting the transition toward circular and resource-efficient economies.
