Oil leaks? Set and forget with EnviroPad
As organisations strive to minimise their environmental footprint, a new product is gaining popularity in Australia. The EnviroPad, which has been adopted as best practice by leading civil construction organisations, is now being embraced by other industries, notably councils and plant hire companies. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of using EnviroPad, including their suitability for handheld equipment, such as chainsaws and generators.
What is EnviroPad?
The EnviroPad spill mat prevents pollution by absorbing hydrocarbon spills, leaks, and drips. Using smart polymer technology, the EnviroPad converts hydrocarbon liquids into a solid rubber-like material. After use, the EnviroPad can be stored upright or even pressure washed, without the risk of contaminants leaching out.
EnviroPad vs Traditional Solutions
Spill trays and plant nappies are common products used to capture oil from leaking equipment and machinery. However if left unchecked they can overflow, get bumped, and ultimately spill. Additionally, outdoor spill trays can capture unwanted rainwater, resulting in an increased volume of contaminated waste and disposal fees.
The EnviroPad offers several advantages over traditional solutions. It is highly versatile, absorbing hydrocarbons while allowing rainwater to run off. It can be reused multiple times until its absorbent capacity is reached, reducing the need for replacement and minimising waste. The EnviroPad is also designed to withstand heavy use in all weather conditions.
Where Can You Use EnviroPad?
The EnviroPad is ideal for use on construction sites, car parks, industrial facilities, and during refuelling, maintenance or repair on machinery and equipment. Its durability and longevity make it cost-effective, making it a low-maintenance solution that can help to minimise environmental impacts in your organisation.
The EnviroPad is an innovative product that can help organisations reduce their environmental impact. Its unique features make it a more efficient and low maintenance alternative to traditional drip pans and spill trays. If you’re looking for a simple set-and-forget solution, the EnviroPad is for you – it’s the perfect blend of technology, simplicity, and value.

The Cost of Getting it Wrong
Hazardous liquid spills can have severe consequences on the environment and surrounding communities. For instance, a Melbourne warehousing organisation is currently facing fines of up to $1.8 million over allegations of chemical spill pollution, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of fish. The best way to protect against criminal prosecutions is having by effective spill control measures in place, even for handheld equipment and plant machinery.
