Every year huge crowds of consumers flock to the shops from the end of November to the end of December. But do you know how all the products you find in the shops are transported? 90% are transported by sea and have already travelled tens of thousands of kilometres.
Today, although manufacturers and distributors are paying more and more attention to the manufacture and packaging of products, the transport and delivery of these products to shops are hardly ever considered a real issue, even though these stages are not without consequences for the environment and the ocean.
