Collect plastic

„At current rates plastic is expected to outweigh all the fish in the sea by 2050.“

About 12 million metric tons of plastic are thrown into the ocean annually

Billions of kilograms of plastic can be found in swirling convergences that make up about 40% of the world's ocean surfaces

Plastic kills more than 1.1 million seabirds and animals every year

Ocean plastics are a threat to our whole ecosystem

Every year around 12.7 million tonnes of plastic waste are washed into our oceans and stay there for decades. This has led to massive areas of floating plastic, like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is estimated to be as large as 500.000 m² – around six times the size of Austria. Plastic is a serious hazard for the marine ecosystem and its inhabitants. Fish, whales and turtles get entangled in macroplastic and microplastic particles are consumed and digested, leading to various disorders and even death¹. This is why our goal is to collect as much plastic out of the ocean as possible.

goodbag, goodcup and the Sustainable Development Goals

What are SDGs?

The Sustainable Development Goals resulted from one of the most innovative processes in the history of the United Nations. Integrating substantive input from all parts of society and all parts of the world, they are the blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for everyone. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty,

inequality climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. There are 17 SDGs which are all interconnected and the main goal is to achieve them all by 2030. Governments are expected to translate the SDGs into national action plans, policies and initiatives, adapted to the individual capacities and properties of their countries. While they primarily target

the governments, the SDGs are designed as a common framework to rally a wide range of actors and shape priorities and aspirations for sustainable development. Most importantly, the SDGs recognise the key roles that businesses can and must play in achieving them. At goodbag we are dedicated to help achieve the SDGs below.

goodbag and goodcup fulfil 5 of the SDGs:

There needs to be a future in which cities provide opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and more.

Sustainable consumption and production is about promoting resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, and providing access to basic services, green and decent jobs and a better quality of life for all.

Climate change is a global challenge that affects everyone, everywhere.

Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future.

Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss.
