How Amcor Sorbe Works

Three-step process that transforms spill cleanup from disposal to remediation

01

Absorb

Plant fibers rapidly absorb hydrocarbons up to 12x their weight while floating on water surfaces.

02

Microbe Activation

Indigenous hydrocarbon-eating microbes activate upon contact with oil, beginning the biodegradation process.

03

Mineralization

Microbes convert hydrocarbons into harmless CO₂ and H₂O over 30-90 days, eliminating disposal needs.
