ICELANDIC GLACIAL IN GLASS MICROPLASTICS REPORT

We commissioned Eurofins, an independent laboratory, to test a sample of Icelandic Glacial water in glass packaging. Below are the results from this third-party laboratory analysis.

Results: All 10 Plastic Types Tested Below the Lab’s Reporting Limits

The independent lab results showed no measurable amounts of microplastics in the tested water sample from our glass packaging using the applied analytical method. All 10 tested plastic types came back below the lab’s reporting limits.

Why We Use Third-Party Testing

FOR TRANSPARENCY

The tested water sample was analyzed by Eurofins WEJ Contaminants GmbH, a global laboratory network focused on scientific testing and analysis.

We use third-party testing because independence matters. Having an outside lab review the sample helps us share results with greater transparency and gives customers information that does not rely only on our own internal claims.

About the Test

Here’s what the lab looked for, how strict their limits were, and what that means.

  • Microplastics Checked

    The lab tested for 10 different plastic-related materials, from common packaging plastics like PET and PVC to engineering plastics like polycarbonate and polyamides.

  • Tested Limits

    The lab set a reporting limit (called a “limit of quantification”) for each plastic type. The strictest limits in this report range from 0.1 to 2.0 micrograms per liter (µg/l). The results were compared against these limits.

  • Water Sample

    For this report, the lab tested a 330ml water sample taken from our glass bottles ("water in glass packaging with an aluminum screw closure").

Test Results

A result shown as “<” followed by a number means the lab did not quantify that material above its stated limit of quantification (LOQ). In other words, for this tested sample, the laboratory did not report quantified amounts of the listed polymers above those thresholds.

Plastic type Reported result Limit of quantification
Polyethylene (PE) < 0.5 µg/l 0.5 µg/l
Polypropylene (PP) < 0.4 µg/l 0.4 µg/l
Polystyrene (PS) < 0.1 µg/l 0.1 µg/l
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) < 0.2 µg/l 0.2 µg/l
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) < 0.2 µg/l 0.2 µg/l
Polycarbonate (PC) < 1.0 µg/l 1.0 µg/l
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) < 2.0 µg/l 2.0 µg/l
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) < 0.2 µg/l 0.2 µg/l
Polyamide 6 (PA6) < 0.2 µg/l 0.2 µg/l
Polyamide-6,6 (PA66) < 7.0 µg/l 7.0 µg/l

Our Purity Standards

and How these results support them

Naturally filtered through Iceland’s ancient lava fields, our water emerges from the protected Ölfus Spring with exceptional purity, crisp taste, and perfectly balanced minerals. Bottled exactly at the source to preserve its untouched integrity.

These independent test results reinforce that purity. For the tested glass sample, all 10 listed plastic types came back below the lab’s reporting limits, supporting our high purity standards.

We will continue to be committed to independent testing, ongoing monitoring, clear communication, and openly sharing results with you.

See Our PET Report

Our PET water report also showed that all 10 plastic types reported below the laboratory’s reporting limits for the tested sample.

See the PET report for the full breakdown.
