Kengro Corporation, based in Charleston, Mississippi, manufactures absorbent products derived from plant-based fibers to address oil spills and site contamination. Its lineup includes granular absorbents, pads, booms, and pillows that capture oils and more than 40 chemicals on land, in water, and on hard surfaces, with a focus on facilitating bioremediation. In 2018, through a collaboration with MKB Company, it expanded into erosion and sediment control and stormwater management, offering Siltron and Diamond Sock silt fence alternatives. The company targets sites requiring spill response and environmental cleanup, including the oil and gas sector, delivering solutions described as 100% USDA biobased certified, chemical-free, all natural, non-toxic, ultra-absorbent, and not soluble in water, with aims of reducing disposal costs and labor. It operates as a small team and centers on sustainable, plant-fiber products for cleanup and sediment control.
