General information
- Short Summary
-
The non-profit organization based in Greece produces filters from human and animal hair that are used to collect oils from water and the environment in general. Studies confirm that hair filters are the most effective of all in absorbing oil.
The unique methodology applied makes the end product efficient and ecologically friendly. Also, the procedure of the collection of the natural hair motivates the society and increases the impact of the offered service and product. - Full Description
- The idea is based on validated studies, experiments and researches from governmental and non-governmental organizations in the USA. The outcome was to create 2 ecological filters that for the last 19 years have already stood as a lifeline in similar oil water pollution accidents (used in 2007 to deal with the oil spill from Cosco Busan in San Francisco / to 2010 also the same for the oil spill from BP Deepwater Horizon on the Gulf Coast etc.). This particular oil accident technique has already been tested and approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, and the United States Air Force, as well as by a number of scientists who have conducted research to confirm it.
