CERTIFICATES & AWARDS

The standard developed by Zero Plastic Oceans starts where the danger to our oceans is greatest: it ensures that plastic is collected in regions without waste infrastructure before it can reach the oceans – under fair, strictly controlled conditions. The OBP seal proves complete traceability as well as compliance with social standards such as fair wages and safe working conditions along the entire supply chain.

Since November 2025, we as GOT BAG GmbH have held the OBP Scope Certificate. It is independent proof of our transparent way of working and confirms that our internal processes meet the highest requirements for traceability. While the main material of our PET and nylon products already consists of recycled Ocean Bound Plastic, we have now created the basis for this to be certified on the product in the future. Important: Only those products bearing the OBP seal and the corresponding information are officially certified.

We are committed to not using any animals or animal products as components in the manufacture and processing of our products. This commitment applies both to the present and the future and ensures that our products remain cruelty-free and vegan.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world and has over 6.5 million members and supporters. Its focus is on four main areas in which animals suffer intensely and for long periods: laboratories, the food industry, the clothing trade, and the entertainment industry. PETA also actively addresses various other issues, including the cruel killing of rodents, birds, and animals often referred to as "pests," as well as cruelty to pets.

The "PETA-Approved Vegan" logo is intended to highlight clothing, accessories, furniture, and home decorations made from vegan alternatives to animal materials such as leather, fur, wool, silk, feathers, or bone. It helps consumers recognize vegan items at a glance and make purchases that align with their values.
