Not only the bag itself, but also the production method and transportation method are thoroughly sustainable.
Marine waste plastic waste is one of the major environmental problems. It is said that there are about 150 million tons of plastic waste in the oceans.
Indonesia is the second largest producer of plastic waste in the world, and marine pollution and river pollution are serious. GOTBAG established a local subsidiary as an organization to collect and separate marine waste plastics in Indonesia. In addition to cleanup activities at the sea, we also educate local staff, create jobs, and engage in community revitalization activities.
It is manufactured in China in a factory that meets working conditions and safety standards, and uses an environmentally friendly and water-resistant material called "BIO PU coating".
In this way, materials are collected in Indonesia and produced in China, so they are made across countries and delivered to customers all over the world. We are also considerate of carbon dioxide emissions during transportation, such as exporting from China to Germany, the home of GOTBAG.
