Organic Oil Absorbents – Sustainable Spill Control from Coco Peat

High-performance, 100% natural oil binders engineered for industrial, marine, environmental and automotive spill management.

Eco-Friendly Spill Cleanup Made from Coconut Husk Fibres

Aura Verde’s organic oil binders are produced from premium-grade coco peat, derived from the husk of the coconut. They offer rapid absorption, natural hydrophobic performance, and full biodegradability—making them a high-efficiency alternative to mineral powders or synthetic plastics.

Our absorbents encapsulate oils, fuels and hydrocarbons without releasing them, ensuring safe handling, transport and disposal.

WHY COCOS NUCIFERA?

Natural Absorption Power with Hydrophobic Performance


Aura Verde processes coco peat that repels water while strongly attracting hydrocarbons, making it ideal for oil spills on both land and water. Its porous structure ensures rapid uptake and long-term containment without leaching.

With 85–90% natural porosity and a neutral pH, it absorbs oils efficiently while remaining safe for operators, wildlife and ecosystems.

Key benefits of Aura Verde’s organic oil absorbent


  • Hydrophobic: absorbs oil, not water, meaning it repels moisture and prevents liquid penetration, which makes it ideal for various applications in waterproof materials and protective coatings.
  • Floats on water during spill response, providing crucial buoyancy and visibility to assist responders in managing and containing hazardous material leaks effectively.
  • High porosity for fast absorption, which allows for quick moisture uptake and enhances overall performance in various applications.
  • 100% renewable and biodegradable materials that reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability
  • Non-toxic and chemical-free, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for both people and wildlife, as well as being eco-friendly and gentle on the skin.
  • No microplastics or mining impact on the environment, ensuring a sustainable and safe ecosystem for future generations.
