Our Mission
The ocean might seem far away from our offices, but our team member Billy is actively engaged on the north shore of Java, Indonesia, where he manages our clean-up activities to gradually clear the sea from plastic.

FAQWhere does the ocean plastic for your products come from?
We collaborate with a network of 1,500 fishermen on the north shore of Java, Indonesia, where our team member Billy manages the clean-up. Those fishermen collect the ocean plastic as by-catch. The plastic is cleaned and sorted before processed further. The PET portion of the by-catch is shredded into pellets, while all other unusable parts of the recovered plastic are discarded according to the right recycling chain.
Through our efforts with local authorities, we provide workshops and educate the residents on the environmental threats caused by plastic pollution. In the long term, we hope to create an impact not only by providing environmentally and socially compatible products but also with a change of actions of our audience.
How do you make sure my LAPTOP SLEEVE won’t end up in our oceans again?
Only a long lasting product is a truly sustainable product. If your LAPTOP SLEEVE is damaged, we will repair it as part of our GOT BAG Cycle, to make sure nothing of it will ever end up in our oceans again. Any excess material will be reintroduced in the next production cycle.
How does every LAPTOP SLEEVE recover 3.3 lb when it only weighs 0.6 lb?
Our products are made of recycled PET. The plastic trash we recover is so diverse though, that on average, we have to recover 3.3 lb of plastic trash until we get to a PET portion of 0.6 lb. As a quick reminder, one metric ton of recycled PET saves 3.8 barrels of oil and 3,750 lb of CO2! Of course we don’t just through the unusable parts of the recovered plastic back into the ocean. Instead we discard the trash according to the right recycling chain.
How sustainable are your logistical routes and the packaging material?
We take our mission seriously. Your order should be delivered to your doorstep with as few emissions as possible. That’s why we choose trains to Europe and ships to the US as our means of transport. We ship our sustainable products only in Poly Mailers that are made with 100% recycled content as well. The mailers are reusable and recyclable (for most households, these would be recycled at a standard grocery bag drop off location). To learn more about our approach to eco-friendly packaging, visit our partner’s website here. Currently we are also working on climate-neutral options, to at least carbon offset our shipping methods with our carriers. Stay tuned!
Ever since we started our journey in 2016, we’ve been pursuing our goal of cleaning the oceans from plastic waste!
