Method for removing hydrocarbon products from the surface of an aqueous medium, comprising the steps of: a) absorbing the hydrocarbon products using the steps consisting of: i) bringing the hydrocarbon products into contact with a solid, sub-divided ethylene/alpha olefin copolymer elastomeric material or a solid, sub-divided ethylene/alpha olefin/diene terpolymer elastomeric material and ii) allowing the elastomeric material to absorb the hydrocarbon products and form a layer of a homogeneous jelly-like mass on the surface of the aqueous medium, the jelly-like mass consisting of the elastomeric and b) mechanically removing the jelly-like mass from the surface of the aqueous medium.
