Eurofins Sustainability Services introduces CleanAir Check for VOC testing
Advanced analytical techniques for VOC testing aligned with ZDHC Air Emissions Guidelines to detect Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and additional prohibited compounds
Eurofins Sustainability Services, a full-service provider for retailers, brands, and manufacturers of consumer products, has grown its extensive service offering to include a CleanAir Check service for VOC testing. The need for VOC testing has emerged from significant concerns over their impact on human health and the environment. Increasingly stringent regulations and heightened pressure on businesses to effectively manage VOCs have followed. In light of this, in August 2024, Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) issued the ZDHC Air Emissions Guidelines V1.0, which focuses on VOC emissions from input formulations. Eurofins Sustainability Services’ CleanAir Check for VOC testing will allow businesses that generate considerable VOC emissions throughout their supply chains, such as the textile and footwear industries, to align with ZDHC Air Emissions Guidelines and achieve regulatory compliance.
Eurofins Sustainability Services’ CleanAir Check provides comprehensive VOC testing, utilising proprietary and industry-approved methods to assist retailers, brands, and manufacturers in the textile and footwear industries. Advantages include
- VOC testing to ensure compliance with ZDHC Air Emission Guidelines V1.0 by calculating 100% Potential to Emit (PTE) VOCs, generating reports for the ZDHC Supplier Platform Air Emissions Module, and creating actionable plans to lower VOC emissions
- VOC testing that measures actual VOC emissions at various production stages to detect trace levels of VOCs to ensure accuracy and applicability for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting
- Detecting prohibited, hazardous chemicals beyond VOCs
- Ensuring test method alignment with future air emission updates, such as trends in the ZDHC Air Emissions Guidelines
