This bag is made from recycled ocean plastic!

Why Ocean Bound Plastic? Plastic left or discarded on beaches and riverbanks inevitably ends up in the ocean, exacerbating the already enormous plastic pollution of our seas every day. Once the plastic is in the sea, it is very difficult to get it out again. We collect this plastic, before it can enter the oceans, recycle it and use it to make your new bag. In this way, we protect the oceans and their creatures, but also us humans and our climate.

Experience here more about how protecting our oceans has a multitude of unexpected positive effects on our planet.

  FAQ
Does the recycled material make my backpack less durable than if it had been made with new plastic?

The quality of the material used to make backpacks from recycled marine plastic is a fundamental challenge. Environmental influences such as sunlight or salty seawater cause the material to lose its quality, become brittle and can then only be recycled in a correspondingly inferior quality. This often occurs with stiff fabrics. Unlike other backpack manufacturers, we use a flexible yet abrasion-resistant fabric developed for us, which does not break and is therefore very durable.

Why are you focusing on the oceans? What about other environmental aspects?

If we stop the littering of the oceans, this will have a number of positive effects on our planet. We protect marine animals that get caught in plastic waste, for example, or ingest plastic as supposed food, which they then cannot digest and die with a "full stomach". But we are also protecting us humans - because we ingest microplastics from the oceans via the food chain.

Researchers also suspect that microplastics in the nutrient cycle of algae have negative effects on the climate. This is because algae - phytoplankton to be precise - use sunlight, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water to produce organic material in the photosynthesis process. This is what they feed on. Researchers fear that microplastics, as supposed food, inhibit this process. This could have a huge impact on our climate, because many people are unaware of this: Phytoplankton in the oceans consume about as much carbon dioxide as land plants on the continents. It therefore plays an important role in regulating our climate.

Our recycling approach not only helps to keep the oceans clean and this marine ecosystem intact. Recycling also helps to further reduce greenhouse gases and thus protect our climate. Because: one tonne of recycled plastic saves 2 tons of crude oil and up to 1.6 tons of CO2, which would be required for the production of new plastic.

Our high quality standards for materials and workmanship ensure that our backpacks and bags have a long life ahead of them. This protects resources and the environment. "Don't buy more, buy better" has been our philosophy since the company was founded.

Thanks to our regional supply chain, we also save CO2: all steps from waste collection to recycling, yarn production, weaving and final bag production take place regionally in India.

In addition, we promote an understanding of waste as a valuable source of raw materials among the Indian population. The fact that we pay people to collect and collect waste leads to a change in thinking, which counteracts the indifferent disposal of waste in the environment. Want to find out more?

  Care tips

To ensure that you and your Fitz & Huxley experience as many adventures as possible together, you can increase its longevity even further with a little care. Here you can find all the tips.

We are very proud to be the first bag company in the world with a fully certified and transparent supply chain for ocean bound plastic.

Recycling the plastic that threatens to litter our oceans has a number of positive positive effects on our planet. Here are the four most important ones:

Protecting our planet:

Protecting the oceans means protecting the planet. Plastic and microplastics in our oceans have a variety of negative effects on marine animals and humans. In particular, however, it also has an impact on the marine ecosystem and thus on global warming.

Waste as a valuable raw material:

In our profit-oriented world, "producing new" is often cheaper than recycling or repairing. The adverse effects on our environment often do not have to be priced in by companies. We want to lead the way here and show that cost-efficient recycling is possible.

Certification and verifiability:

Our promise to you and our planet is certified and controlled. We are proud to be the world's first backpack brand with a fully certified supply chain, audited by an independent organization.

Collecting plastic creates regular income:

There is not only an ecological but also a social core in our pockets: collecting plastic for the OCEAN line enables the poorest of the poor to earn a living while cleaning the environment of plastic waste. Since they are often illiterate, they have little prospect of a regular income. OCEAN line Three pressing problems: 1. Poverty and hunger, 2. Environmental pollution caused by plastic, and 3. Increasing the recycling rate of raw materials instead of new production. Become a part of this change!

We need to act now!

8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year. This plastic affects us all: it is in our water, in our animals and in us. Something must be done! Prevention and clean-up are key, as is the establishment of supply chains that enable the economic and sustainable recycling of plastic and appreciate plastic waste for the valuable resource it is.

Collecting plastic waste: Earn income and clean up the environment.

Until now, plastic waste has had no value in India. We are changing this and contributing to a rethink: because collecting plastic enables those who otherwise have few opportunities in India due to a lack of education or status to earn a regular income. At the same time, these people prevent plastic waste from entering the sea and thus protect our oceans, which gives them a sense of purpose.
