Plastic-free seas everywhere
Even as a child, Benjamin, the founder of Got Bag, noticed just how much plastic waste there was on the beach and in the sea. Upon further research, he realised that single-use bottles, bowls, ropes and so on do not disappear from the water even after several hundred years. They pose a huge threat to the marine environment. A solution was needed, and so the idea of making rucksacks from ocean plastic was born. With the development of the world’s first plastic-free rucksack in 2016, this goal was achieved. Since then, Got Bag has made it its mission to actively combat the growing problem of marine litter.
When you choose a Got Bag rucksack, you’re actively supporting this mission. Protecting the oceans and the environment is close to the brand’s heart. Nevertheless, great importance is placed on ensuring the bags and rucksacks are of high quality. So you’re not only stylish, but you can go about your day with a clear conscience.
Using natural resources and tackling the climate crisis – that’s what Got Bag stands for.
Communication is important
The fishermen who are working with Got Bag as part of the clean-up programme have become a vital part of the mission. Not only do they actively help to keep the seas clean, they also pass on their knowledge. They tirelessly share information about plastic waste, thereby raising environmental awareness in their communities – a development that, given a network of around 2,000 fishermen, is likely to have a significant impact. The local government is keen to support the initiative and maintains close contact with Got Bag. Together, they are seeking long-term solutions to protect the oceans.
Collecting Ocean Impact Plastic
Got Bag takes its mission seriously and has launched a clean-up programme in Demak, on the north coast of Java in Indonesia. A network of around 2,000 fishermen collects plastic as by-catch from the sea. Got Bag requires between 1.5 and 5 kg of plastic for each product. That amounts to 50 tonnes per month. Naturally, as part of this programme, care is taken to ensure that not only the plastic required for production is collected from the oceans. All other types of plastic are also recycled, thereby gradually ridding the sea of materials that do not break down naturally.
