That is the crap made from wheat or corn based crud. It's also the stuff 
that almost caused a BIG bang out in a nuke waste storage facility.

They use kitty litter to stabilize the low level waste and then bury it 
in salt. BUT some tree hugger bought the "green" crud and POP went the 
barrel...

As for oil dri. It's the same stuff as PLAIN kitty litter. The only 
difference is the cat litter is ground finer and more uniform in size. 
Both are nothing more than kiln dried clay.

"Oil-Dri owns and operates clay mining & manufacturing facilities in 
several States in the U.S. Our granular absorbent products are 100% 
natural, kiln dried clay with no additives. The all natural minerals are 
frequently referred to as Fuller’s Earth."


If you live near a saw mill or a woodworking shop a GREAT mix is 50/50 
kitty litter and sawdust. The sawdust absorbs oil as well and it works 
to hold the kitty litter together when you sweep it up.

Near a farm where you can get corn cobs? Dried and ground to a granular 
powder and you have "Dri-Zorb granular oil absorbant".
