Spill Kits and Refills
Everything for the spill, from cab to plant floor.
Free site assessment
See what you’d save. Plastic, pounds, and waste.
Run the numbers below with your own usage, then let us walk your site. We’ll map your spill points, compare what you use today, and send a plan to cut plastic and disposal weight.

Calculator 1 · Plastic and CO2
How much plastic and CO2 are in your absorbents?
Most pads, socks, pillows, and booms are made from polypropylene, a plastic made from oil and gas. Making it releases CO2, and burning it releases more. Green Boom absorbents are made from plants, which pull CO2 out of the air as they grow. Enter what you use in a typical year.
Your polypropylene use, per year
Your spent absorbent today is
Industry-typical weights for each item. Change them to match the products you buy.
Polypropylene production from the American Chemistry Council’s 2021 cradle-to-gate study of PP resin. Burning figure is the carbon in polypropylene released as CO2. Plant uptake assumes about 41% carbon in the dry fiber.

Fossil CO2 avoided is the CO2 from making the polypropylene you no longer buy, plus burning it if your spent absorbent is incinerated. Plant uptake is the CO2 the plants took in while growing; it stays in the fiber and returns to the natural cycle as the fiber breaks down, so we show it separately rather than adding it to the total. Green Boom’s own manufacturing and shipping are not included. A passenger car emits about 0.89 lb of CO2 per mile (US EPA). A plastic grocery bag weighs about 5.5 g. Green Boom pads are rated for up to 10 uses.
Calculator 2 · Loose absorbent vs. clay
Lift less. Haul less.
Clay floor absorbent holds about 2 gal of oil per 50 lb in independent testing. Green Boom Loose Absorbent holds up to 18 gal per 30-lb bag. Enter the clay you use in a year and see the difference in weight, disposal, and CO2.

Both absorb about 960 gal of oil a year: 480 bags of clay, or about 54 30-lb bags of Green Boom.
Clay CO2 is an estimate for mining, kiln drying, and processing clay. Change it under Capacities used if your supplier publishes a figure. Plant uptake uses the factor from Calculator 1. Green Boom manufacturing and shipping are not included.
Calculator 3 · Spill kits
Restock your spill kits without the plastic.
Spill kits are full of polypropylene pads, socks, pillows, and booms. Enter the kits you buy or restock in a year. We match each one to a Green Boom kit with the same contents, made entirely from plants.
Kits you buy or restock, per year
Plastic and CO2 use the polypropylene weights and CO2 factors from Calculator 1, and the same choice of landfill or incineration.

Your full report
Everything you use. One report.
Your report pulls in everything you entered in the calculators above. We total the plastic, CO2, and waste you’d remove by switching, match each item to a Green Boom product, and build a PDF you can share with your team.

The report uses the same weights, CO2 factors, pad reuse, landfill or incineration choice, disposal cost, and refill setting as the calculators above.
Estimates for typical polypropylene absorbents when they are thrown away. Spill kits count at their rated capacity, and clay at the capacity in Calculator 2.

Oily waste, per year
43,875lbto landfill or incineration with the absorbents you use today
21,827lbkept out of landfill and incineration by composting Green Boom with Oily™
Oily waste is spent absorbent plus the oil it holds. Composting with Oily™ depends on local rules, because used absorbent takes on the properties of what it absorbed.

Plant-based, start to finish
Made from plants. Certified, not just recycled.
100%
Certified biobased
USDA BioPreferred® and DIN CERTCO certify our absorbents as 100% biobased. No polypropylene skin, no plastic filler.
Bio
Biodegradable plant fibers
Our absorbents are made from plant fibers that break down naturally, instead of plastic that lasts for centuries.*
TCLP
Passes TCLP, independently tested
The EPA leaching test used to classify waste. Oil stays locked in the fiber.

*Used absorbent takes on the properties of what it absorbed. Characterize it and dispose of it according to local, state, and federal regulations.
