There are many loose particulate absorbents in the marketplace today. With the choice being daunting for many, buying decisions are often made purely on cost and as we know… it doesn’t always make good sense. So, we believe it is important to guide customers through a process to look beyond the initial cost of the product and to consider:
- the volume of product required to clean up the spill
- the effort and labour involved
- the effectiveness of the absorbent
- the options for disposal.
Organic cellulose absorbents rapidly absorb and encapsulate liquids and require less product when compared to polypropylene and clay based alternatives. Most importantly their strong wicking effect instantly locks liquids into the absorbent fibres ensuring they will not leach back into the environment. They will instantly take up a spill with little effort ensuring a fast and efficient spill recovery and provide environmentally responsible disposal options. Depending on the liquids absorbed and local disposal requirements, options may include, disposal to landfill, bioremediation or incineration. SpillSmart FloorSweep and K-Sorb Hydrophobic are both highly regarded organic cellulose absorbents designed for effective spill response.
