Projects
Sustainable Hair Mats for Oil Spills and Agriculture
Through the use of needle felting machine we can produce hair mats. Hair Mats have different purposes both for wild and urban environments. Such as:
- Soak up oil
- Help with soil erosion prevention
- Help with agriculture
Oil Spill Clean Up Mats
Oil enters our waterways from large spills, leaky vehicles, chemicals dumped into storm drains, accidents, and more.
In a study by NASA, human hair is shown to adsorb five times its weight in oil.
Hair mats in water will soak up oil at a rapid rate, working faster than any polypropylene booms. They must be removed from the water quickly though, as there is no plastic used to keep the mat buoyant, and it can be weighed down by rocks, seaweed, and other natural matter.
