This week, the Eurofins Wellington Lab team undertook a dedicated clean-up activity around our laboratory at 85 Port Road, Seaview. Situated directly on the waterfront and bordering the harbour, this location provides us with a daily reminder of the importance of protecting our natural environment.

In just 30 minutes, 22 team members contributed a combined 11 hours to removing litter from the surrounding streets and foreshore area. Their efforts have helped ensure the space around our facility is cleaner, safer, and more welcoming as we approach the summer season.

At Eurofins, we remain committed to supporting the communities in which we operate and to participating in initiatives that promote long-term environmental stewardship. This activity reflects our ongoing dedication to contributing positively to the places where we live and work.

A groundbreaking global study, led by the Eurofins Environment Testing Microplastics Peer Group has uncovered alarming levels of microplastic pollution in the air. In some urban areas, deposition rates have reached up to 1,300 microplastic particles per square meter per day.

As part of the PlasticDustCloud project — one of the most comprehensive and harmonised investigations of its kind — air samples were collected from 12 sampling sites in nine countries on three continents. The study used a standardised sampling approach and multiple detection technologies to generate comparable global data and highlight the environmental relevance of airborne microplastics. It also evaluated how different analytical methods influence reported microplastic concentrations.

Sampling was conducted from June to August 2024 using an identical wet–dry deposition method (AS/NZS 3580.10.1:2016). Parallel samples at each site were analysed using five analytical techniques, including vibrational spectroscopy and thermoanalytical methods. Sites with dedicated microplastics laboratories also analysed triplicate samples to assess reproducibility. Strict QA/QC protocols — including procedural blanks and laboratory control samples — ensured robust and contamination-controlled results.

The findings underscore the pervasive presence of microplastics in the air we breathe and the need for standardised analytical workflows.

Further details on sampling methods, results, and locations can be accessed on the project website:

Celebrating Diwali at our Auckland Laboratory

Today, our Auckland team came together to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights - a time that symbolises the triumph of light over darkness and honours Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity. Marking new beginnings, Diwali is traditionally observed with lamps, candles, and flowers to welcome light and positivity for the year ahead.

This annual celebration is always a highlight on our calendar and a wonderful opportunity to come together as a team. Once again this year, our team went to great efforts to decorate the laboratory with vibrant colours, lights, and flowers, creating a truly festive atmosphere. The celebration was made even more special with the sharing of delicious traditional food — a reflection of the warmth, generosity, and spirit of Diwali.

With operations spanning six continents, Eurofins is proud to be a richly diverse organisation. Our strength lies in the unique backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives of our people. Local celebrations such as this provide meaningful opportunities to recognise and learn from the traditions that connect us across the globe.

To everyone celebrating, Eurofins New Zealand extends warm wishes for a Diwali filled with prosperity, unity, and new opportunities.

As the Water NZ Conference & Expo 2025 draws to a close, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has connected with us this week.

It’s been inspiring to share ideas, discuss challenges, and explore solutions with so many passionate people working to shape the future of water in New Zealand.

If we didn’t catch you in person at Stand 152, our team is always happy to connect after the conference. Reach out anytime to learn more about how Eurofins can support your water and environmental sampling and testing needs.
You can call our Analytical Service Managers on 0800 387 63467 or visit www.eurofins.co.nz to find a lab near you.

And for those who entered our competition to guess “The number of microplastic particles found in an area of Auckland beach the same size as the Eurofins stand” – the answer was 4131 particles!

Congratulations to the lucky winner.

Until next year – ngā mihi nui from all of us at Eurofins

This week we’re at the Te Pae Christchurch Convention & Exhibition Centre for the Red Meat Sector Conference 2025. This is a key event for the industry, bringing together delegates from processing and exporting companies, along with policy-makers and representatives from associated industries. This year’s theme is focussing on Emerging Topics from Across a Supply Chain, and will explore opportunities for innovation, trade, sustainability and value growth.

Eurofins is delighted to be a Gold Sponsor once again at this year's event. We are committed to supporting the red meat sector with analytical testing services across the entire value chain — from field to fork, and offer robust national coverage and comprehensive scopes to help ensure quality, compliance, and confidence at every step.

As the industry faces new challenges, we’re also leading the response to two emerging contaminants of global concern: PFAS (poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances) and microplastics. These persistent, man-made compounds pose real risks to our ecosystems, our food systems, and our health. Eurofins is at the forefront globally in developing best-in-class methods for detecting PFAS and microplastics in a wide range of matrices — including water, soil, and food. We’re now bringing these advanced capabilities to New Zealand, offering customised testing protocols and working directly with local partners to tackle regional PFAS concerns.

If you’re at the conference today, please drop by the Eurofins stand and have a chat with our experienced team to see how our testing solutions could work for you.
