Known Limits & Failure Modes

‘Ocean-bound’ means collected within a defined distance of a waterway in an area lacking waste management — it does not mean recovered from the sea, and the two get used interchangeably in marketing. The collection-radius definition varies by scheme. Ask which scheme, what radius, and who verified the collection point.
