Marine, environmental & spill control
GreenStrength sorbent pads, socks, booms and master rolls for hydrocarbon spill response — absorbs up to 22× its weight, made in Newmarket, Ontario, for customers across North America.
The problem
When oil hits water, the supply chain is already too late
Spill response is bought before the spill. Most sorbents on Canadian shelves are imported, resold through layers, and untested claims.
- Stockouts when it matters — imported sorbent supply runs dry exactly when a region needs it most.
- Generic sorbents drink water — universal pads saturate with water on contact and sink the response budget with them.
- Unverified absorbency claims — a number on a box means nothing without an independent test behind it.
- Layers between you and the maker — when a distributor's distributor sold it, nobody answers the technical question.
- Seasonal spikes — boating season and spill season arrive together; import pipelines can't flex when regional demand doubles.
- Paying to ship air — sorbents are light and bulky; ocean freight and warehousing eat the savings the unit price promised.
- Compliance on paper only — response plans require capability you can prove; an undocumented pallet of pads isn't a spill plan.
Spill control is insurance you buy in advance. Insurance backed by an import pipeline and an unverified number is not the kind an environmental incident forgives.
How we fix it
Oil-only sorbents, made and validated in Canada
Oil in, water out
100% virgin polypropylene sorbent is oleophilic and hydrophobic — it takes up oil and fuel while repelling water, on the bench or on the harbour.
22× its weight, independently validated
Absorbency is tested in-house and validated by a certified third-party laboratory — the number on the box has a lab report behind it.
Every format a spill needs
Pads, bench mats, socks, booms, master rolls and complete spill kits — stocked domestically and shipped from Newmarket.
