Pall filter material cleans up oil in Florida

21 June 2010

Pall Corp is donating leftover polypropylene membrane from its manufacturing operations in Pensacola, Florida, to help protect local beaches from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Pall trims rolls of polypropylene on the production line in Pensacola to specific customer requirements and, as a result, accumulates leftover material. To date, the filter company has contributed more than 6000 pounds of the material to help in the clean up. Pall employees and other local volunteers are bagging the material into netting socks to soak up the oil.

Eric Krasnoff, Pall chairman and CEO, said: “We are pleased to help any way we can. I’m especially proud of our Pensacola employees for their ingenuity and for rallying to the aid of their community. Their actions epitomise Pall’s culture of innovation, citizenship and environmental stewardship.”
