Eco-Friendly Innovations to Combat Ash Contamination, Erosion, and Environmental Risks
Addressing the Challenges Left by Natural Disasters
Natural disasters like wildfires, floods, and hurricanes present significant environmental challenges, including hazardous ash migration, severe soil erosion, and the risk of water and air contamination. Toxic ash from wildfires, for example, often contains harmful substances such as arsenic and lead that threaten ecosystems and public health.
At Soilworks, we provide proven, eco-friendly disaster recovery solutions that stabilize and protect affected areas. With industry-leading products like Soiltac and Durasoil, we help communities recover quickly, safely, and sustainably, all while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Cutting-Edge Products for Effective Recovery
A U.S. EPA-approved copolymer emulsion that stabilizes loose particles by creating a durable, water-resistant crust. It was critical in the Lahaina wildfire recovery, where it prevented toxic ash from spreading into the air and water.
This synthetic dust suppression fluid is designed for long-lasting control in harsh environments, even without water. Its unique formulation ensures consistent performance in disaster recovery zones, reducing airborne contaminants and creating safer conditions for remediation efforts.
Case Study: Lahaina Wildfire Recovery
Following the devastating August 2023 wildfires in Maui, Soilworks partnered with local authorities to stabilize over 128 acres of ash and debris.
Reduced airborne toxins like arsenic and lead
Prevented contamination of nearby water sources and coral reefs
This effort highlights the effectiveness of Soilworks’ solutions in stabilizing toxic ash and mitigating environmental risks in post-disaster zones.
