For any industry that works with liquids, a spill control plan should be in place, says spills control specialist Fentex.

And with standards following an upward curve, why would you settle for what ticks the box in the short term with the same old polypropylene products manufactured halfway around the world? There is a British-made alternative that performs better than the norm. And it is more cost effective, says the firm.

For any industry that works with liquids, a spill control plan should be in place, says spills control specialist Fentex.

Designed to assist with the spill control required by pollution prevention guidelines, ISO standards and other regulations, the EVO Recycled® product range began with the development of an absorbent pad made from 85% recycled cotton fibres, in the vicinity of Cambridge University. In addition to superior environmental credentials, EVO spill products absorb more oil than polypropylene absorbents due to a high-loft construction and unique manufacturing process. They also have a greater oil retention capability; this reduces the secondary contamination associated with polypropylene absorbents when absorbed oil leaches out during clean-up. EVO absorbents are more cost-effective, easier and cleaner to use and priced lower than polypropylene alternatives. Today the range features Spill Kits, absorbent pads, rolls, socks, drum-toppers, absorbent stations, drip-trays and spillpallets made from recycled plastic, loose absorbents made from recycled gypsum or natural wood fibre.
