AbTech's Commitment to the Environment

At AbTech Industries, our commitment to the environment goes well beyond the surface. Our products not only provide customers with effective clean water solutions, they are fully recyclable, providing a closed-loop solution to water pollution. In addition, we pride ourselves on being a sponsor and supporter of clean water advocacy initiatives throughout the nation and around the globe. We recognize that water is the primary ingredient of life and we understand the importance of clean water in our environment. As a result, we feel a tremendous responsibility in our role as stewards of this valuable resource and will always provide innovative and effective ways to remove contaminants from our nation's waterways. Our Smart Sponge® technology, developed over a seven-year period of intensive research and development, uses a patented combination of petroleum-derived polymers to create a filtration media that allows for several advantages to the environment:

• Effectively removes multiple contaminants: hydrocarbons, trash/debris and sediment
• Absorbs rather than adsorbs water-borne hydrocarbons to prevent leaching or leaking back into the environment
• Simpler and less expensive disposal due to classification as "non-hazardous waste"
• Oil-soaked product may be recycled as a waste-to-energy fuel source
• With Smart Sponge® we are confident that contaminants such as hydrocarbons and other pollutants do not enter into our nation's oceans, lakes and streams making them safer and cleaner.
• In addition, Smart Sponge® Plus reduces coliform bacteria found in stormwater, industrial wastewater, and municipal wastewater and is registered with the EPA
  (Registration # 86256-1).
