Compared to other clean-up technologies such as incineration and burial ofCompared to other clean-up technologies such as incineration and burial of sludge in secure landfills; SupaZorb offers a much cheaper way of dealingsludge in secure landfills; SupaZorb offers a much cheaper way of dealing with an oil spill. SupaZorb is also a very affordable technology, which meanswith an oil spill. SupaZorb is also a very affordable technology, which means that it can be used for almost any kind of situation where an affordable andthat it can be used for almost any kind of situation where an affordable and effective bioremediative solution is necessary. This will, in turn, lead to aeffective bioremediative solution is necessary. This will, in turn, lead to a much cleaner environment for us all.much cleaner environment for us all.
