Comments and Feedback
Yes we added new categories but maybe we were wrong. 1. Which catergory hygienic pad goes to? 2. Other products than food wraps? Like pampers wraps, dishsoap, soap, shampoo wraps? Where do they go to?
Most garbage were floating in the cold upwelling current and coming from the bottom of the ocean
