 This work presents a non-woven made from capoc fiber and polypropylene, which is used for oil spill cleanup. The difficulties in structuring capoc fiber through needle-punching are discussed, resulting in the production of hydrophobic oleophilic capoc fiber non-woven. The maximum oil sorption was found to be 40.80 gg and 29.0 gg for high-density oil and diesel oil respectively, making it a suitable alternative to commercial polypropylene-based oil-sorbent pads. The retention value of the oil-sorbed samples ranged from 0.88 to 1.00, and the burning test confirmed its eco-friendly nature with less ash residue.
