With Workplace Safety today, a critical factor to businesses large and small, so too is Environmental Safety.
In certain operational settings, the use of industrial absorbents to mop up oil, fuel, paint, and chemical spills on hard surfaces, is a well-recognised workplace safety practice.
However, spills like these are only one part of the hazardous waste problems many modern industrial businesses face. There are other threats to safety and the environment, which are harder to detect than others.
According to Hazardous Waste Australia 2021, more than 35% of all spills in Australia happen on soils. As such, businesses in mining, oil and gas, construction, and manufacturing are all being held to account for their own ‘eco footprint’. This means they’re expected to address hazardous waste problems they cause, using safe and more sustainable environmental protection solutions.
Enretech is one company that is well-versed in providing sustainable cost-saving solutions for the modern industrial business. This includes soil remediation. “Our sustainable products such as Kleen Sweep have been keeping petrol station, supermarket, factory and workshop floors free from surface oil and other spills for many years,” says Managing Director Gordon Irons. “In addressing the growing global problem of soil contamination, we have been pioneering environmentally sound soil remediation technologies, which are both sustainable and effective.”
“Using a combination of microbial cultures and renewable cotton waste absorbents, Enretech’s latest version of Remediator®, is being internationally recognised as the most potent bioremediation solution to date for spills on soil,” says Gordon.
100% biodegradable, Remediator® has been approved for environmental compliance by all EPA agencies in Australia as well as several state and local government agencies in NSW, Queensland, and Victoria. It has also been accredited for use by environmental agencies in Canada, USA, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Soil remediation, which includes bioremediation, is recognised globally as a proven sustainable approach to environmental remediation and helps organisations to achieve their ESG goals and objectives. As a result, leading APAC environmental consultants such as EnviroPacific and Socadis have also recognised the benefits of bioremediation to address soil contaminants and use Remediator® to quickly and cost effectively achieve desired EPA targets for their clients.
