Welcome to April’s Eurofins Water Hygiene Testing news. This month we focus on sustainability.


Microplastics in UK water | Why analysis matters

Recent studies have drawn attention to the growing presence of microplastics in UK and European water sources. Although treatment processes reduce this significantly, the potential impact on ecosystems and human health is under increasing scrutiny.

In response to this environmental challenge, Eurofins provides accredited analysis of microplastics and tyre-derived rubber particles.

Sorbisense® samplers | For improved Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) monitoring 

Testing water samples for PFAS is becoming increasingly important as regulatory scrutiny tightens and awareness grows around the potential health and environmental impacts of these persistent chemicals.

Enhance your PFAS monitoring with Sorbisense®, our next-generation passive sampler that delivers more accurate data by measuring averaged concentrations over time.

Thio-Bags® | Cutting plastic waste by 90%

As part of our commitment to reducing single-use plastics and improving operational efficiency, we offer Whirl-Pak® Thio-Bags® for microbiological water sampling.

Thio-Bags® are a reliable alternative to traditional sample bottles, using up to 90% less plastic and offering several practical advantages, including easier storage, transport and disposal.

Where suitable, we encourage you to make the switch to Thio-Bags® and support a more sustainable approach to water sampling.

Sustainable marketing update | Moving from paper to digital

As part of our commitment to sustainability and Eurofins’ global target of achieving net zero by 2025, Eurofins Water Hygiene Testing UK is reducing reliance on printed materials.

Going forward, when you meet us at events or in person, you’ll have the option to access a digital collection of our marketing leaflets via a QR code instead of taking printed copies.

This simple change helps cut down on paper waste while making it easier for you to keep and share our most recent materials.

Thank you for supporting our journey towards more sustainable practices.
