About 470,000 tons - due to accidental spills. Mostly mechanical methods – booms and skimmers – are used for collecting spilt oil from the sea surface. These methods are often inefficient, slow and perform well only in a calm sea. Slow unproductive response to accidental spills redoubles the problem and often leads to shocking ecological disasters. The most feasible alternative solution to the problem is the application of chemicals, detergents in particular. This method, however, causes a big ecological concern. It is prohibited in many countries due to possible long-term negative environmental effects and toxicity concerns.  Bioagents for oil products' decomposition are currently under development. At present, however, the available bioagents are very slow and can be used only as an "after cleaning" solution when most of the spilt oil is collected and removed.
Attempts to use natural low-cost materials (like hay) as sorbents for spilt oil binding did not meet success. These materials tend to adsorb water and sink and also are difficult to collect. AltimEco invites you to read more about our powerful "Instant oil spills binding" solution and original sorbent, which perform excellently in various applications. Due to the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of our solution over 80 % of the annual oil input to the marine environment can be prevented.
