ecoSPEARS Named GOLD Winner in Energy & Sustainability by Edison Awards
In a remarkable triumph, ecoSPEARS' Sorbent Polymer Extraction And Remediation System (SPEARS), developed by NASA, clinched the gold award in the Energy & Sustainability category at the Edison Awards 2020. SPEARS, with plastic spikes within a geotextile mat liner, acts as a sponge for toxins, passively absorbing pollutants from sediments. This eco-friendly approach prevents recontamination, and the toxins are then destroyed through chemical dehalogenation, eliminating the need for harmful additives. Recognized by over 3,000 business leaders worldwide, SPEARS stands as a beacon of innovation for a more sustainable future.
