This bag is made of recycled ocean bound plastic!

¿Por qué el plástico oceánico? La basura abandonada o desechada en playas y riberas acaba en el océano, sumándose a la ya enorme contaminación por plástico de nuestros mares. Una vez que el plástico está en el océano es bastante difícil y caro recuperarlo. Nuestro planteamiento es recoger los residuos plásticos antes de que lleguen a los océanos, reciclarlos y convertirlos en nuevas bolsas. De este modo protegemos los océanos y su vida marina, así como a nosotros, los humanos, y nuestro clima.

Aprenda aquí más sobre cómo la protección de nuestros océanos tiene multitud de efectos positivos en nuestro planeta.

  Detalles del producto
  • Minimalist backpack made of recycled sea plastic for every day: despite its compact shape, the OCEAN pack surprises with its space and can easily accommodate a thick DIN A4 folder, for example.
  • The upper is made from 100% recycled ocean plastic and has a coarse, grainy texture that feels more like canvas than polyester. This fabric is water-repellent and protects against wind and weather. The splash-proof zips keep the contents of the backpack and outer pockets dry. Despite its coarse structure, the upper is dirt-resistant and easy to clean.
  • The padded shoulder straps ensure a high level of carrying comfort without being bulky.
  • On the back of the backpack there is a secret outer pocket for your most important items. You keep them here safely but easily accessible.
  • The OCEAN pack has an integrated, padded laptop compartment for notebooks up to 15.6" in size or 16" MacBook Pro (version 2021). Internal dimensions: 36 x 27 x 2.5 cm. You can also use the Velcro strap to secure your notebook from slipping out.
  • Spacious pocket (with zip) inside.

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

Basically, the quality of the material in the manufacture of backpacks from recycled ocean bound plastic is a challenge. Due to environmental influences such as solar radiation or salty sea water, the material loses its quality, can become brittle and then only be recycled in a correspondingly inferior quality. This often occurs with stiff fabrics. Unlike other backpack brands, we use a flexible but abrasion-resistant fabric that has been developed for us, which does not break and is therefore very durable.

Why do you focus on the oceans? What about other environmental issues?

Dejar de ensuciar los océanos tiene multitud de efectos positivos para nuestro planeta. Protegemos la vida marina que, por ejemplo, queda atrapada en los residuos de plástico o ingiere plástico como supuesto alimento, pero no puede digerirlo y muere con el "estómago lleno". Pero también nos protegemos a nosotros mismos, porque ingerimos microplásticos de los océanos a través de la cadena alimentaria.

Los investigadores también sospechan que los microplásticos en el ciclo de nutrientes de las algas tienen efectos negativos en el clima. Porque: Las algas -más concretamente el fitoplancton- utilizan la luz solar, el dióxido de carbono (CO2) y el agua para producir materia orgánica en el proceso de fotosíntesis. De esto se alimentan. Los investigadores temen que los microplásticos como supuesto alimento inhiban este proceso. Esto podría tener enormes efectos en nuestro clima, porque lo que muchos no saben: El fitoplancton de los océanos utiliza tanto dióxido de carbono como las plantas terrestres de los continentes. Por lo tanto, desempeña un papel importante en la regulación de nuestro clima.

Nuestro enfoque de reciclaje no sólo ayuda a mantener los océanos limpios y este ecosistema marino intacto. El reciclaje también ayuda a reducir los gases de efecto invernadero en general y, por tanto, a proteger nuestro clima. Porque: una tonelada de plástico reciclado ahorra 2 toneladas de petróleo crudo y hasta 1,6 toneladas de CO2, que se utilizarían en la producción de plástico nuevo.

Our high quality standards in materials and craftsmanship ensure that our backpacks and bags have a long life ahead of them. This saves resources and the environment. "Don't buy more, buy better" has been our philosophy since inception.

We also save CO2 through our regional supply chain: all steps from plastic waste collection to recycling, yarn production, weaving to the final bag production take place regionally in India.

In addition, we promote an understanding of garbage as a valuable source of raw materials among the Indian population. The fact that we pay people to collect rubbish leads to a rethink which in turn counteracts the indifferent disposal of rubbish in the environment. Do you want to learn more?

  Cuidado de los productos

Para que tú y tu Fitz & Huxley tengáis tantas aventuras juntos como sea posible, un poco de cuidado puede contribuir a aumentar su longevidad. Aquí encontrarás todos los consejos.

Estamos muy orgullosos de ser la primera empresa de bolsas del mundo con una cadena de suministro totalmente certificada y transparente de plástico reciclado procedente del océano.

Reciclar el plástico que está destinado a contaminar nuestros océanos tiene una multitud de efectos positivos para nuestro planeta. He aquí los cuatro principales:

Protecting our planet:

Protecting the oceans means protecting the planet. Plastic or microplastics in our oceans have a variety of negative effects on marine animals and us humans. But especially on the marine ecosystem and thus global warming.

Garbage as a valuable raw material:

In our profit-oriented world, producing “new” is often cheaper than recycling or repairing. Companies often do not have to carry cost for adverse effects on our environment. We want to lead the way and show that cost-effective 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, controlled by an independent organization.

Collecting plastic generates regular income:

In our bags there is not only an ecological but also a social core: collecting plastic for the OCEAN line enables the poorest of the poor to earn a living while cleaning the environment from plastic waste. Since they often cannot read and write, they otherwise have little prospect of a regular income. The OCEAN line addresses three urgent problems at once: 1. Poverty and hunger, 2. Environmental pollution from plastic and 3. Increasing the recycling rate of raw materials instead of new production. Become a part of this change too!

We need to act now!

8 million tonnes of plastic enter our oceans every year. This plastic affects us all: its in our water, our animals and in us. Something has to be done! Prevention and cleaning is the key to it as well as building up supply chains that allows to recycle plastic in an economical as well as sustainable manner and values plastic trash as the valuable source of resources as it is.

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

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