According to the staff of Environmental Information Office at the Spill Response Command Center:

The Marine Biologists at NOAA have made a decision to ban the use of loose absorbants – even those certified as safe on open water by EPA,

1 container of MOP's (cradle-to-cradle green) Sorbent, certified safe for use in open water, can contain 75,000 gallons of spilled oil.
By comparison it takes 23,076 6’’ x 10’ polypropylene booms to accomplish the same amount of spill cleanup.

MOP Booms, which can and will be used on the spill are 4 times more effective than Polypropylene booms but even using high absorption booms like those we produce, you would still need more than 5000 booms to rival one truckload of loose absorbent.

1 Container of MOP loose sorbent costs $32,000
23,076 Booms cost: $865,350

The spill companies get rich while the problem grows. They love this system because they make their money on a long, slow, and expensive cleanup.

MOP is aggressive, oleophyllic and hydrophobic. It rejects water and locks up oil.

MOP will never sink below the surface, If it is blown in below the surface it will rise to the surface and will not sink , even when saturated with oil.

A Ban on Loose Sorbent is a Huge Mistake
They are already spraying loose dispersant which is a loose product that will exacerbate the long-term problem. Already tar balls are showing up on the beaches from using the dispersants. Why not apply loose absorbent that will actually contain the spill?

We need to demand that the Coast Guard, BP and the White House get the NOAA directive overturned.
