CERTIFICATES & AWARDS

The standard developed by Zero Plastic Oceans addresses the areas where the threat to our oceans is greatest: it ensures that plastic is collected in regions without waste-management infrastructure before it can reach the ocean – and under fair, strictly monitored conditions. The OBP label verifies full traceability and compliance with social standards such as fair wages and safe working conditions throughout the entire supply chain.

Since November 2025, we at GOT BAG GmbH have held the OBP Scope Certificate. It is independent proof of our transparent working practices 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 labelling this on the product in a certified manner. Important: only products that carry the OBP label and the corresponding information are officially certified.

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

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the world's largest animal rights organisation, with over 6.5 million members and supporters. Its focus is on four main areas in which animals suffer intensely and over long periods of time: 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 designed to highlight clothing, accessories, furniture and home décor items made from vegan alternatives to animal materials such as leather, fur, wool, silk, feathers or bone. It helps consumers identify vegan items at a glance and make purchases that align with their values.
