But, Kendall says this product’s uses don’t stop there: “What’s really exciting about Towelie is not only is it biodegradable and highly capable for oil absorption, but it’s also naturally hydrophobic with no chemical treatment or additives… this product is able to float on water... Highly effective for remediating oil spills... It allows it for multiple uses with a quilted surface and highly-abrasive surface that is able to cut through anything while still holding together and not ripping when it’s full of oil."
