Crude oil is a green product, from the earth to the earth. There is only one problem that it takes time for it to self-destruct and during that time animals and vegetation will ingest the toxins and perish.
Refineries turn crude into a totally non-green product by pasteurizing the crude (killing the microbes that will eat up the oil) and create many different sterile hydrocarbon products.
When refined hydrocarbons are poured on the ground or disposed of in an improper fashion, the oil coats the soil and renders the microbes attached to that soil useless. The oil continues to migrate as it travels with ground water, eventually gets below the oxygen level in the soil. At this level no breakdown will occur and the oil continues it journey to the water table.
Peat Sorb® captures oil (any hydrocarbon), introduces oxygen to the mix, and when mixed with healthy soil it creates an environment where the microbes in the soil can migrate into the Peat Sorb® and have the time and the right environment to break the oil down. Some of the byproducts of the breadowns are fertilizer and vegetation is the benefactor
A true GREEN solution to a severe problem.

Advantages of Peat Sorb
COST EFFECTIVE:
One-PS2 Peat Sorb Bag, weight 30 to 34 lbs., 4 cubic ft. of product compressed to 2 cubic ft, with a 7% water content is equal to:
2-1/2 bales of 18" x 20" x 3/8" poly pads
600 to 900 lbs. of kitty litter, or clay sweeping compound
Absorbs on contact, much less clean-up time
Much less material to dispose of, 1 lb. picks up one U.S. Gallon of oil and will pass T.C.L.P. for landfill
