The SpillFix Story

Twenty-five years ago, while traveling through Sri Lanka, I came across huge mountains of brown dust.

Coconut plantThe local people regarded it as a “useless” waste resulting from the extraction of fiber from the coconut husk. Ideas were short on how to dispose of this waste stream. It struck my curiosity and got me thinking – what could this be used for?

I studied this waste stream material and discovered that coconut husk dust (coir) had a magical capacity for absorbing and holding liquid. During this time, a severe drought was affecting plant nurseries at home in Australia. This was my catalyst to develop exciting, water saving, soilless growing mediums.

These natural products gained wide popularity with nurseries and transformed hydroponic crop cultivation. The miraculous absorbent qualities of coir, further influenced me in developing a multi-purpose absorbent product – the dynamic SpillFix! It can absorb and clean up every type of commercial, industrial and household liquid spill.

Two decades later I am still committed to developing visionary, sustainable and eco-friendly products with this coir material. The wisdom of the universe provides us with a way to create transformational products that are safe for us, our pets and the environment.

  • “Bar-B-Que sauce is easy enough to clean up when it’s on your fingers and lips, but it’s an entirely different story when a five-gallon jug of it ruptures and flows onto a warehouse floor. SpillFix was applied to the entire disaster area – from the pallet to the cardboard, the shrink wrap and the growing puddle on the floor. In three and a half minutes, the entire mess was cleaned, and the warehouse was restored to a safe workplace again — using just one product.”

In the past, we put down our current product and walked away for a few hours or a day. SpillFix should be cleaned up right away." Read case study.
