Our Mission
The ocean might seem far away from our offices, but our team member Billy is actively engaged on the north shore of Java, Indonesia, where he manages our clean-up activities to gradually clear the sea from plastic.

With your purchase you help us to recover 2.7 kg ocean plastic!
The shoulder bag for those looking for a practical & sustainable companion for everyday work. Even great to bring for your after work date thanks to the simple, compact design.
For each BUSINESS BAG, we recover 2,7 kg of ocean plastic.
Where does the ocean plastic for your products come from?
We collaborate with a network of 1,500 fishermen on the north shore of Java, Indonesia, where our team member Billy manages the clean-up. Those fishermen collect the ocean plastic as by-catch. The plastic is cleaned and sorted before processed further. The PET portion of the by-catch is shredded into pellets, while all other unusable parts of the recovered plastic are discarded according to the right recycling chain.
Through our efforts with local authorities, we provide workshops and educate the residents on the environmental threats caused by plastic pollution. In the long term, we hope to create an impact not only by providing environmentally and socially compatible products but also with a change of actions of our audience.
How do you make sure my backpack won't end up in our oceans again?
Only a long lasting product is a truly sustainable product. If your DAYPACK is damaged, we will repair it as part of our GOT BAG Cycle, to make sure nothing of it will ever end up in our oceans again. Any excess material will be reintroduced in the next production cycle.
How does every backpack recover 2,5 kg when it only weighs 540 g?
Our products are made of recycled PET. The plastic trash we recover is so diverse though, that on average, we have to recover 2,5 kg of plastic trash until we get to a PET portion of 540 g. As a quick reminder, one metric ton of recycled PET saves 3.8 barrels of oil and 1,7 kg of CO2! Of course we don't just through the unusable parts of the recovered plastic back into the ocean. Instead we discard the trash according to the right recycling chain.

By using recycled PET, we made the commitment to utilize an eco-friendly alternative to new plastic in our yarn production. One metric ton of recycled PET saves 3.8 barrels of oil, 1.700 litres of water, and reduces the CO2 emission by 139 tons compared to the industry standard. So far, we were able to recycle more than 100 tons of ocean plastic.
Providing environmentally and socially compatible products is not enough for us. We also organize training sessions on waste separation for the local community on Java, to create a collective awareness about plastic pollution. GOT BAG also helps to support the establishment of a waste infrastructure in rural areas. In the long term, we hope to persuade the local government to rethink the way it operates Indonesia’s waste management system.
Sustainable down to the last fiber! The fabric of every GOT BAG is water-repellent thanks to an innovative BIO-PU coating, which uses significantly less water and oil during production, while also emitting less CO2 than traditional coating processes. The coating is 100% biodegradable and all of our products are free from PFC.
We recycle plastic waste to manufacture premium yarns, which we ultimately use to sew our long-lasting products. Every single GOT BAG product is of the highest quality and durable. If you still encounter problems with one of our products, or if the product gets damaged, we offer you a repair service. If we exchange your GOT BAG, we will re-recycle the material for our next production line to make sure that the plastic will never end up in our oceans again.
