What is the GOT BAG Project?
Founded in 2018, GOT BAG is all about creating minimalist travel goods for those who truly care about design, quality, and making an impact. Their bags, backpacks, luggage, and accessories aren’t just stylish—they’re made from recycled materials like Ocean Impact Plastic. It’s a daily reminder that making better choices can actually look good. At the core of this initiative is GOT BAG Indonesia, a clean-up program tackling plastic pollution right where it begins—in the seas, rivers, and coastal communities. By teaming up with local groups and building waste management systems from scratch, they transform plastic waste into valuable raw materials, clean up the environment, and support local livelihoods. Plus, GOT BAG is a certified B Corp™, part of a global movement of businesses using their power for good—doing it with purpose, not perfection.
Main Benefits of the GOT BAG Initiative
Here’s how GOT BAG turns trash into treasure:
- Partners with fishermen and coastal communities in Indonesia to collect discarded plastic waste.
- Plastic is cleaned, sorted, processed, shredded into flakes, and melted into pellets.
- Recycled pellets are melted again, extruded into fibers, and spun into high-performance yarn.
- Fabric is cut, sewn, and assembled into sustainable bags and accessories designed for everyday adventure.
Ocean Impact Plastic Recycled
Every single piece of plastic waste that no longer threatens our oceans makes a difference. It’s not just about recycling—it’s about stopping pollution at its source and turning what was once a problem into something valuable and useful. GOT BAG’s approach ensures that plastic waste doesn’t just disappear; it gets a new life in products people can use and love.
Corporate Gifting with a Purpose
Looking to make a lasting impression? GOT BAG offers co-branded, eco-friendly bags and accessories made from Ocean Impact Plastic. These make perfect company swag, employee rewards, or client appreciation gifts. It’s a way for businesses to show they care about the planet while delighting their teams and clients with meaningful, sustainable products.
