Local company (and JumpStart Ventures portfolio company) ABSMaterials is stepping up to the plate in an effort to aid the cleanup in the Gulf. Their core technology, called Osorb, can actually absorb oil (and other substances) from water, trapping it within so it can be removed. They are sending their water purification system to the Gulf with hope that it can help in the massive cleanup effort which lies ahead.
Last night, Cleveland's WKYC featured the company and the work they're doing:
Congratulations to ABSMaterials!
