Built from the Inside Out

BioBreath was founded by Dylan Bel-Bachir, a mechanical fitter from Perth who spent years working FIFO across WA mine sites and noticed something most sustainability strategies overlook entirely.

A Problem Nobody Was Talking About

Breath testing is mandatory across mining, law enforcement, transport, and construction in Australia. On a busy site or in a high-volume testing environment, that means hundreds or sometimes thousands of single-use plastic straws being used and discarded every single week.

It is not dramatic. It is not visible. And that is exactly why it never gets addressed.

Most sustainability efforts focus on the obvious areas: packaging, vehicles, energy. The small, routine consumables get overlooked. But when you are running thousands of tests a year, those consumables add up to a significant and completely unnecessary plastic problem.

BioBreath was founded by Dylan Bel-Bachir, a FIFO mechanical fitter from Perth who watched this happen every single day on site. Every entry. Every shift. Plastic straws, used once, thrown away. The more he saw it, the harder it was to ignore.

When he looked for a biodegradable alternative purpose-built for the devices already in use across Australian industry, there was not one.

So he built it.

 A Practical Product for a Real Problem

BioBreath is not a concept or a campaign. It is a physical product, currently in development and moving toward commercial availability.

The BioBreath straw is made from 100% PBS (polybutylene succinate), free from BPA, plasticisers, and heavy metals. The resin is DIN CERTCO-certified compostable, compliant with EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 standards. It is designed to sit directly onto compatible Alcolizer devices. No adaptors, no modifications, no retraining required.

BioBreath has completed independent third-party flow resistance testing through Vipac Engineers and Scientists, recording 1,187 Pa against the AS 3547:2019 limit of 3,000 Pa. We are currently preparing for pilot conversations with organisations in law enforcement and the resources sector.

Honest. Practical. Built for Procurement.

01
Operational integrity
The product has to work. Familiar fit, familiar process, no disruption to existing testing workflows. BioBreath is a direct replacement. Your team will not notice the difference except for what ends up in the bin.
02
Material transparency
We only claim what we can document. Our resin is DIN CERTCO-certified compostable, compliant with EN 13432 and ASTM D6400. We will not overstate what that means, and we will not hide behind vague sustainability language.
03
Procurement readiness
From certifications to compatibility specs, we are building the documentation package that serious buyers need. Government agencies and mining operators ask hard questions. We are building the answers before they ask.
04
Australian roots
Founded in Perth. Built for Australian industry. BioBreath was conceived on WA mine sites and developed for the organisations that operate them. Starting in WA and expanding from there.

We are not here to greenwash. We are not here to make bold claims we cannot back up.

BioBreath is being developed with procurement-grade transparency in mind, because the organisations we want to work with ask hard questions, and they should.

Government agencies, mining companies, and transport operators do not have time for vague sustainability promises. They need a product that works, documentation they can rely on, and a supplier they can trust.

That is the standard we're holding ourselves to.

Designed for High-Frequency Testing Environments

BioBreath is relevant anywhere breath testing is routine, not occasional. The higher the testing volume, the greater the plastic reduction opportunity.

STARTING IN WA.
BUILT FOR THE NATION.

Our focus right now is Western Australia, the state we know best and the market where BioBreath is most immediately relevant.

The goal is to establish BioBreath as the trusted biodegradable breath testing consumable across WA law enforcement and industry first, then expand state by state as the product and brand build credibility.

The national opportunity is significant. Australian police forces conduct breath tests at significant scale each year. If BioBreath becomes the standard consumable across even a fraction of those tests, the plastic reduction impact is substantial.

But we are not getting ahead of ourselves. First things first: get the product right, earn the trust of the right partners in WA, and build from there.
