Q:  Clay-based absorbents have been popular for many years. Are there any new alternatives to consider?

A: Absorbents have changed little over the past three decades. In fact, the same clay-based spill solutions have dominated the marketplace with no alternatives. But recently, new organic absorbents have become available, each with different qualities and capabilities. If you’re interested in no dust, chemicals or carcinogens, resulting in a safer workplace, you might want to look at the different organic alternatives.
