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 that tests for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Given that VOCs pose significant concerns for human health and the environment, increasingly stringent regulations and heightened pressure on businesses to effectively manage VOCs have emerged. 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 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:

• Ensuring 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
• Measuring 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

Eurofins Sustainability Services has published a white paper that reviews relevant regulations and introduces the CleanAir Check service in detail and will also present a complementary webinar on 13 February 2025.
