Imagine being able to help clean up an oil spill that is floating toward your favourite beach.

All you need is a bucket, a hand held drill with a paint stirrer, and the ingredients to mix together. Within 15 minutes it’s ready to go and with a kitchen knife you can cut up the material into any shape and use it to absorb the oil floating on water. You can throw it on with your hands.

In another 15 minutes, the material you made will achieve 90% of its maximum absorption, and multiples of its own weight. In fact, the heavier the crude, the more it will absorb. The material won’t sink, won’t lose the oil it absorbed, and you can scoop it up with a fishing net.

That material is recoil™.
