EcoMend is a revolutionary oil and hydrocarbon absorbent, made from the highest grade of Sphagnum Peat Moss. Due to the extensive process to produce “activated” peat, EcoMend is a lightweight, easy to handle, superior absorbent that is able to absorb oil at a rate of approximately one pound of product per gallon of spillage. EcoMend is able to achieve these results by using a “wicking” action, best described as a magnetic-like attraction that pulls/draws the oil or hydrocarbon into the empty cell.

EcoMend is hydrophobic – it will float and resist absorption of water for up to 30 days while simultaneously “wicking”, sponging, and encapsulating hydrocarbons floating on water’s surface. Once encapsulated, oil will not normally leach out of  EcoMend to become a threat to the environment. EcoMend holds the oil and catalyzes the natural bio-degradation of oil into harmless byproducts through microbial action over a period of less than one year (you can grow plants out of the used EcoMend).

Unlike our competitors, with EcoMend you can just sweep up the used product and throw it right in the trash! No special hazardous waste disposal needed (dependent on local and state regulations).

With EcoMend you will use less product, absorb more, dispose of less, save labor, and reduce your total cost of clean up and disposal. And, most importantly in the age of environmental consciousness products and sustainability, EcoMend is simply, THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
