Sustainable Oil Recovery and Remediation

Rob Manning, General Manager

Sustainable Oil Recovery and Remediation (SORR) is committed to pre-emptively eliminating pollutants from entering the environment. Their groundbreaking Sponge technology efficiently captures hydrocarbons, and other dangerous pollutants, preventing environmental harm at the source. These pollutants undergo a proprietary process for removal from the environment, and the sponge and filters are recycled, reducing emissions and ensuring zero landfill waste. Embracing the principles of a circular economy, SORR continuously repurpose and reuse their Sponge, promoting sustainability in their practices.

SORR’s versatile solutions address critical environmental challenges, including PFAS remediation and microplastics removal, catering to applications from oil recovery and remediation to comprehensive stormwater and land water management. Through continuous innovation and a commitment to environmental stewardship, SORR is leading the way toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
