Marine oil spills have caused significant environmental problems. Among the array of clean-up methods, the utilization of sorbents emerges as promising for removing and recovering oil from spills. Developing cost-effective, reliable, and eco-friendly material that efficiently and sustainably removes oil from water is increasingly seen as crucial and pressing. In the present study, we report the development of coco-polyurethane (PU) foam (CCF) through the conventional foaming process using varying amounts of coconut-oil-derived polyol (CODP) in a PU matrix. Characterization of the foams showed an increased ester band with the incorporation of COPD into the polyurethane networks and no direct influence of the cell size distribution on the surface morphology. Furthermore, this study highlighted the increasing CODP in every CCF formulation, showing high oil sorption and low water uptake due to its porous structure. The experimental results revealed that CCF is a potential candidate sorbent for the recovery of spilled oil. This signifies a significant leap towards reducing the dependency on petroleum in developing sorbent materials and advancing sustainable responses to oil spills in marine environments.
