This new type of sponge surpasses all other sponges or absorbents we use today in terms of capacity, quality and reusability.
Application areas: Oil and chemical spills have caused unprecedented damage to water bodies around the world. Wood sponges can effectively solve this problem as a green way to clean up the ocean.
