Diversified environmental services company, Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. announced Friday that the company will participate in remediation efforts related to the BP oil spill; the announcement followed a Letter of Intent between Mid-Gulf Recovery Services, LLC and the company’s majority owned subsidiary Ecosphere Energy Services, LLC.

We are excited to be combining decades of experience and rapid response with Ecosphere’s breakthrough technology to begin the massive clean up of the Gulf’s marshes and inland waterways. Our teams working together can make a real difference to the Gulf region that is being so devastated by the oil spill. Additionally, Ecosphere’s unique non-chemical systems will allow us to clean-up and recover oil and not do further damage to the environment with chemical processes.”
