Shops & Merchants Retail worm counts

Compostable pouches for retail

The easy way to offer worm egg counts, pinworm tests and our new sand test kit to your customers.

Westgate produce four retail worm count kit products that can be offered for sale in your store. Now supplied in new compostable packs with a unique design that enables us to take responsibility for the journey of the entire product from start to finish as everything is returned to source! 

The product is made in strong paper based pouches that become the envelope used to return the samples to the lab. These have an aqueous starch coating that gives a protective barrier and enables them to sit safely in damp tack and feed rooms.  A compostable label is included for post-paid return of the samples and a ‘peelable’ strip is applied with compostable adhesive to re-seal the pouch for return.

🌱 Once the pouches arrive back at the lab the packaging material will be composted on the muckheap.  In a few months’ time the well-rotted manure will be used as fertiliser for tree planting in a new 130 acre nature reserve that Westgate has established on their family farm in Northumberland where the lab is based.

There is no need to be AMTRA registered to sell this product. Westgate Laboratories do not sell wormers and our SQP’s will refer your customers back to the shop if they require anthelmintics.
