Polysorb is an established UK oil spill clean-ups SME, accredited to ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 in addition to accredited spill training. The core project team consists of Andrew Brines (project leader), Wendy Brines (quality assurance), Dr Jacky Smith (technical lead) and Patrick Brines (site engineer). Polysorb's aim is to solve a significant unmet need with its eco-friendly alternative to the chemical dispersants used in oil spill clean-ups. Its microbial enzyme treatment causes minimal additional disruption to ecosystems, is simple to use and can be applied using the most appropriate method for the contamination site. It treats the problem at the source, starting the degradation process sooner and reducing the risk of physical disturbance to and destruction of sensitive marine habitats through sediment removal.

Polysorb是一家成熟的英国溢油清理中小企业，除了认可的溢油培训外，还通过了ISO9001、14001和45001认证。核心项目团队由安德鲁·布林斯(项目负责人)、温迪·布林斯(质量保证)、杰基·史密斯博士(技术主管)和帕特里克·布林斯(现场工程师)组成。Polysorb的目标是通过其环保的替代品来解决石油泄漏清理中使用的化学分散剂的重大未得到满足的需求。它的微生物酶处理对生态系统造成的额外破坏最小，使用简单，可以使用最适合污染部位的方法。它从源头上解决问题，更早开始退化进程，并通过清除沉积物减少对敏感海洋栖息地的物理干扰和破坏的风险。
