How to Turn Trash into Treasure With Innovative Fabric Sourcing
GOT BAG saw the plastic pollution crisis as an opportunity to solve a global environmental problem through contemporary & creative product development by creating a fully vertical supply chain where GOT BAG transforms plastic recovered from its own ocean clean-up into yarn. The company creates unique bags, backpacks, and accessories with its innovative fabric made from 100% recycled ocean plastic. Each GOT BAG product is a sustainable, functional, and durable original that has recovered and recycled 9.9 pounds of plastic from our oceans, setting an example for the industry of what the future of fashion can look like.
