    I have identified a 100% Natural Product, which can be used in Toilets to absorb bad and toxic smells without any consumables. It can be renewed every two months to become new. After 2 or 3 years of of use the contents can be used for Garden or pot plants, which is an amazing slow release fertilizer. It is packed in a 500 grams pouch to be hanged in toilets. Will there be any body to sponcer my idea.

    You should contact Anil Gupta’s/Honey Bee network out of Ahemdabad AIIM India with your innovation and get them to help you with a marketing plan for your product. If you do contact them, kindly do inform them that I guided you to their network.
    Best Wishes, Premilla Dixit
