The oil absorbing materials are 100% plant-based foams that absorb oils, lipids and other non-polar substances. The foams are light weight and hydrophobic (float on water) for marine oil spills with quick absorption.

Cass’ fossil-FREE oil absorbing materials float on water, quickly absorbing the surface oil spill. Made from the waste streams of the forest and agricultural industries, Cass’ foams have minimal impact on our terrestrial or marine ecosystems.

Currently, polypropylene plastics are used in most booms to clean up oil spills. Cass’ fossil-FREE materials can absorb the same amount of oil in half the time with half the amount of material.
