More info Natural Surplus Programs Our Natural Surplus programs concentrate on materials that are found abundantly in nature. OIL SPILL HAIRBOOMS AND HAIRMATS Thousands of salons, groomers, wool farmers, individuals... mail in hair, fur, wool... clippings, swept up off their floors. The fibers are stuffed into recycled nylons and covered in mesh to make booms or, when possible, woven into hair mats. We all know about shampooing our oily hair, but it took Phill McCrory, a stylist from Alabama, to realize that hair was an efficient and abundant material for collecting and containing petroleum spills. Phil's company Ottimat.com sells hair mas made of hair purchased in China, where hair, fur and wool have been recycled for thousands of years. The mats are made there, where the textile industry is booming. For over a decade, Ottimat has partnered Matter of Trust to orchestrate an International Natural Fiber Recycling system and stimulate green jobs and the textile industry!
