Abstract: Methods and products for cleanup of fluid medical waste. In one illustrative embodiment, a product may include coconut coir in a loose granulated grade, a compressed pellet grade, or mixture thereof allowing users to choose between grades more ideal for their application while achieving the same results of absorbing and solidifying all human waste and fluids for safe removal and disposal. In a second illustrative embodiment, a product may include coir in a proportion of from about 85% to about 99% and a suitable microbe for initiating bioremediation in an appropriate form in a proportion of from about 20% to about 1%, by weight.

Abstract: Methods and products for hardening/solidifying waste paint for disposal, which are ideal for use with water-based paints, acrylic paints, latex paints and oil-based paints using a single product which is both safe to use and safe for landfill disposal. In one illustrative embodiment, the product may comprise coconut coir, manufactured in a loose granulated grade, a compressed pellet grade, or a suitable mixture thereof which allows a user to choose the correct grades desired for as specific application to solidify waste paint materials safe for landfill disposal. Methods of use may include selecting the appropriate grade for a particular usage, solidifying waste paint and disposing of the waste paint absorbed into the selected coconut coir product.

Abstract: Methods and products for spill response management also providing bioremediation of specific substrates such as protein, starch, carbohydrates, hydrocarbons, fats and greases through superior enzymatic activity in both aerobic and anaerobic environments with one product. In one illustrative embodiment, a product may include coir in a proportion of from about 85% to about 99% and a suitable microbe for initiating bioremediation in an appropriate form in a proportion of from about 20% to about 1%, by weight. Methods of using a product may include absorbing spilled fluid with the product then disposing of the product with the absorbed fluid where the microbe will perform bioremediation. This may allow the absorption (cleanup) of commonly used hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals in residential, commercial and industrial applications and the peace of mind of using a safe, sustainable, environmentally friendly, landfill safe product.
