GOT BAG: from trash, to treasure

Freeing the oceans from plastic waste. With this mission in mind, Benjamin Mandos founded GOT BAG in 2018, developing the world’s first Ocean Impact plastic backpack and establishing his first clean-up programme in Demak, Indonesia. Here, participants collect Ocean Impact plastic, i.e. plastic found in the sea or coastal areas, to create beautiful and healthy products for the planet. The company directly involves local communities in waste collection and disposal, spreading a culture of active environmental protection. As a certified B Corp™ company, it is also part of a global network that meets high standards of social and environmental impact. GOT BAG products impress with their minimalist and timeless design.
