Breathalyser Solutions

Every breath test conducted across Australia uses a single-use plastic consumable. One test, one straw, one piece of plastic, discarded.
Across law enforcement, mining, construction, and transport, that adds up to millions of plastic straws every year. Straws that take over 200 years to break down in landfill. Straws that almost never appear in a sustainability report, because nobody thinks to look.
That is not because the problem is not real. It is because the solution did not exist yet.
BioBreath is that solution, a biodegradable alternative designed to fit the same devices and follow the same process, so organisations can start reducing this overlooked plastic stream without changing how they operate.
Sustainability commitments are only as valuable as the actions behind them. For organisations in high-frequency testing environments, the challenge is not motivation, it is finding alternatives that actually work in the real world.
BioBreath is built around that reality. It does not ask organisations to change their devices, retrain their staff, or compromise on testing accuracy. It asks them to swap one consumable for another, and in doing so, remove a meaningful volume of single-use plastic from their operations.
That is not a small ask dressed up as a big one. It is a genuine improvement that is practical enough to actually happen.
Material transparency is not just good practice. For procurement decisions in government and industry, it is essential. Here is exactly what BioBreath can say about its materials, and what the evidence behind those claims actually is.
For many organisations, sustainability strategies focus on energy, fleet, and packaging. Operational consumables, especially small routine ones like breath testing straws, rarely make the list.
But for organisations conducting thousands of tests per year, these consumables represent a real and addressable plastic reduction opportunity. One that requires no capital investment, no process change, and no new infrastructure.
BioBreath is relevant to several frameworks that organisations in law enforcement, mining, and industry are already working within.
BioBreath is most relevant in environments where breath testing is routine and high-volume, because that is where the plastic accumulates fastest and where the reduction opportunity is greatest.
