Got Bag – Create an Impact
Got Bag embodies the idea of working together to bring about positive change. With the message “Create an Impact”, the company aims to develop sustainable products that are not only functional and durable, but also make an active contribution to environmental protection. At the heart of the collections are timeless bags and rucksacks made from so-called Ocean Impact Plastic – recycled plastic collected from coastal regions and near the sea. In this way, waste is transformed into a high-quality raw material that is processed into modern designs.
Making a difference
In 2016, the founder of Got Bag developed the world’s first rucksack made entirely from plastic waste. Building on this, the Got Bag brand was launched, with a mission to campaign for clean oceans and the responsible use of plastic. Got Bag products are manufactured using innovative methods from existing materials.
Got Bag products are not only sustainable and good for the environment; they all feature a timeless design and are of high quality. We are happy to support this and therefore offer you an extensive selection of Got Bag products.

Plastic-free seas everywhere
Even as a child, Benjamin, the founder of Got Bag, noticed how much plastic waste there was on the beach and in the sea. Upon closer investigation, he realised that single-use bottles, bowls, ropes, etc. 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, the company Got Bag has made it its mission to actively combat the ongoing pollution of the oceans.
When you choose a Got Bag rucksack, you are actively supporting this mission. Protecting the oceans and the environment is close to the brand’s heart. Nevertheless, great importance is placed on the high quality of the bags and rucksacks. 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 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 keep the seas clean, they also pass on their knowledge. They tirelessly share information about plastic waste, thereby raising environmental awareness in their communities – an effort that, with a network of around 2,000 fishermen, is likely to have a significant impact. The local government is happy to support the initiative and is in close contact with Got Bag. Together, they are seeking long-term solutions for the protection of 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.
