BioTubing – Landfill Biodegradable Tubing for Groundwater Sampling

View product>
Is sampling groundwater responsibly important to your business? ...then switch to 'BioTubing'. Our landfill-biodegradable tubing helps minimise plastic waste build-up in our landfills. BioTubing is made from landfill-biodegradable* LDPE (low density polyethylene) or HDPE (high density polyethylene), and will only start to biodegrade once in a microbe rich environment such as a landfill. It does not require high oxygen or temperature to biodegrade such as in a commercial compost. BioTubing enables you to achieve high sampling integrity plus operate more sustainably. Bonded Tubing for Low-Flow Sampling Our bonded tubing has the 1/4″ and 3/8″ tubes bonded together with a thin bridge and conveniently packaged on a 100m spool. The air and water lines have been bonded during the extrusion (manufacturing) process, and can be separated easily in the field to connect to a pump and controller fittings. It is recommended to scrape the bonding bridge clean with a knife to ensure a perfect seal. Many people prefer using bonded tubing as it can simplify pump deplyment and handling, and it can reduce the possibility of getting pumps stuck. The easiest way to manage your bonded tubing during pump depolyment, sampling, and storage, is by using the Rapid Reel tubing dispenser. Ultra-Clean BioTubing Our BioTubing has been independently tested for any leaching of 58 VOCs and 101 SVOCs. The VOCs were tested using USEPA 8260B process and the semi VOCs via USEPA 8270. After tumbling for 18 hours the tubing showed 'non detect' on all the compounds analysed for. These compounds included Phthalates and PAHs. Data available on request. Waste Plastic Facts

In Australia alone over 1.5 million tons of plastic waste is disposed of each year, approximately 30 million tons in the USA, and about 5 million tons in the UK

Unfortunately most of this goes to landfill with only a small percentage being recycled

The use of plastic in western Europe and Australia is growing by about 4% each year

Plastic can take up to 500 years to decompose

Nearly every piece of plastic ever made still exists today

By using BioTubing and other landfill-biodegradable products you are helping to reduce the amount of plastic waste build-up in our landfills

*Biodegradation has been verified by independent laboratory using ASTM D5511 for anaerobic landfill conditions. Independent laboratory testing confirms that our BioTubing is PFC/PFAS-free, based on analysis for 28 different PFCs at extremely low detection limits. For sampling on PFAS sites HDPE tubing is often prefered. HDPE tubing is available in 1/4", 3/8", and 5/8" OD sizes. Click the 'Ordering Information' tab to see all available options for BioTubing.
Biodegradable Bladders

View product>

Low-Flow Sampling has been the preferred method of choice for many years now in Australia for groundwater sampling. Now you can use disposable bladders responsibly by choosing our landfill biodegradable bladders. Fieldtech Solutions has developed landfill-biodegradable concertina style bladders, and also tube style bladders for 2 of the most popular low-flow groundwater sampling pumps. These bladders have the same biodegradable additive as our other disposable sampling products so that they will biodegrade once disposed to a landfill. *Concertina style bladders now also available in HDPE*

BioLiners^TM – Biodegradable Plastic Liners for Soil Sampling

View product>

Landfill-Biodegradable Push-Tube Liners for Soil Sampling
The BioLiner^TM has been available in Australia since 2012, and as the name suggests it is a plastic liner for soil sampling that will biodegrade* 90+% faster than conventional push-tube liners when discarded to a landfill. A special additive in the plastic encourages microbes to consume it. BioLiners^TM are made from biodegradable* PVC, and will only start to biodegrade once in a microbe rich environment such as a landfill. They enable you to achieve the same sampling integrity as non-biodegradable liners but more sustainably. Soil push-tube liners, once used are normally discarded having served their purpose. However this adds to our plastic disposal problem. In Australia alone over 1.5 million tons of plastic waste is disposed of each year, approximately 30 million tons in the USA, and about 5 million tons in the UK. Unfortunately most of this goes to landfill with only a small percentage being recycled. This is unsustainable, and the problem will only get worse unless we change our consumer habits. Only the BioLiner^TM can help you achieve more sustainable soil sampling. *Biodegradation has been verified by independent laboratory using ASTM D5511 for anaerobic landfill conditions.

“I believe FieldTech Solutions’ initiative will make a big difference in the industry. The irony of contributing to the pollution problem with single-use disposable sampling equipment in order to clean up the planet has bothered me for many years. The availability of these biodegradable products is a big step towards reducing the problem.”

Dodz A David, AECOM Australia

“Just wanted to let you know the materials have arrived on site already and have been perfect to collect the tricky samples. Thanks again for brainstorming the best options and going out of your way to finding a small courier service, really appreciate it.”

Michelle Agnew, Cardno
