BioBailers® are standard disposable bailers used for groundwater bore sampling but with the added benefit of being biodegradable* when discarded into a landfill.
As people who care for the environment, it makes little sense to use a single use plastic bailer to sample and monitor the quality of our environmental water, then throw the item away to remain in a land fill for 100’s of years or more. Let’s not be solving one problem only to be creating another.
BioBailers® are made of PVC or HDPE with a small amount of an engineered additive to make them biodegradable*.
PVC has higher specific density of 1.3 allowing these bailers to sink faster than HDPE bailers. Therefore weighting of PVC bailers is not necessary in most applications.
- BioBailers® Will Not Leach
*As tested by ASTM D5511 these products have been shown to biodegrade within a few years when placed in a landfill
