Sophia's materials do not leach into the environment when adsorbing contaminants, and the adsorption capacity is also higher than that of other materials. Our materials use the surrounding environment to convert pollution into minerals, or stabilize effluent from leaching into the soil or ground water.
In Sophia, the thing that makes us differ from the companies that usually sell adsorption materials is that we are well informed about the products we sell. We also tailor business proposals to the clients needs, and after actually inspecting the contaminated soil, water and/or site, provide the best solution for the problem. This extra effort is definitely respected as one of our strong points and has helped us stand out in the crowd.
