Symbolically, our products stand for clean oceans and a responsible use of plastic. That's why we not only collect the Ocean Impact Plastic that we recycle for the production of our travel and everyday companions, but also ensure that the plastics that cannot be used are recycled appropriately. Together with our customers, we ensure that they never end up in the ocean again, rethink circular economy and actively fight for the conservation of our environment. With the goal of a circular economy, our backpacks are made of mostly recycled materials and are particularly durable. They consciously forgo the need for constant new collection cycles and pursue a timeless, minimalist design language. In addition to our two-year warranty, we offer you a spare parts service. We also take back GOT BAGs and replace them if the functionality is no longer guaranteed. For some cases we are already testing a sewing service and expect to be able to offer a welding service in the near future. In this way, we want to guarantee each GOT BAG the longest possible life. We want to create greater awareness - both through our clean-up program and our work with local authorities in Indonesia, but also by raising people's awareness of plastic recycling worldwide. We encourage people to think, to question their own actions, and to work together to effect change. Create an Impact. 

In Demak, on the north coast of Java in Indonesia, a network of 2,000 fishermen collects ocean plastic as by-catch. The plastic is cleaned and sorted before processed. After cleaning, the PET portion is pressed into pellets.The pellets are then shipped to our production facility in China, where we turn them into a robust yarn for your GOT BAG.

GOT BAG has already recycled over 150 tons of ocean plastic. And thanks to your help we are able to recycle more and more every single day! Thanks to a collaboration with "Cleanhub" all our Clean-up Program efforts in Indonesia will be tracked and documentred even more precisely in the future.

So far, we can only use the PET part of the collected ocean plastic for the production of your GOT BAG. Of course, the other types of plastic do not end up back in the ocean: With our own Clean-up Program program in Indonesia, we ensure that all plastic recovered by the fishermen is fed into suitable recycling solutions. In addition, we are constanly working with our research partners to be able to independently process more and more of it into new products in the future. 

Your GOT BAG is made of 100% recycled materials, so there may always be small variations in structure and colour. Of course, we are aiming to provide you with a flawless product and therefore are constantly optimizing our processes be able to correct small defects in the material structure. Until then, we would like to suggest you to treat small imperfections at home with a damp microfiber cloth or a cockpit cleaning cloth.

The pellets made from Ocean Impact Plastic are transported by ship from Indonesia to China for further processing. Locally, we still rely on road transport, but we are also looking for more environmentally friendly alternatives. The finished goods are transported from China to Germany and the USA by ship. There, the products are shipped in reusable and recyclable packaging made of recycled materials.
