History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 424690-01 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The "Absorbents (Wholesale)" industry has a long history dating back to ancient times when natural materials such as sand, sawdust, and straw were used to absorb liquids. In the 19th century, the use of clay-based absorbents became popular, and in the early 20th century, synthetic absorbents made from materials such as cellulose and polypropylene were introduced. In the United States, the industry saw significant growth during World War II when absorbents were used to clean up oil spills. Since then, the industry has continued to evolve, with advancements in technology leading to the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly absorbents. For example, in recent years, there has been a growing trend towards the use of biodegradable absorbents made from natural materials such as cornstarch and coconut coir.
