Our partner NGO, GOT BAG Indonesia, operates a clean-up program to collect and process Ocean Impact Plastic. This community-driven and regional focus ensures the program addresses plastic pollution in areas most affected, such as coastal regions without waste management systems, creating change for local communities and ecosystems.
The Yayasan GOT BAG Indonesia Foundation was established in September 2022, headquartered in Yogyakarta. Before, between 2019 and 2022, the clean-up program was coordinated by a local foundation with the same employees.
Our collaboration with the GOT BAG Indonesia Foundation is rooted in a firm belief: lasting change happens when local communities lead the way. That’s why the foundation is entirely managed by a team of local professionals, whose deep connection to their communities and the ocean allows them to develop targeted solutions for the plastic crisis.
GOT BAG GmbH provides funding for the foundation’s initiatives and collaborates closely to set strategic goals. Through continuous exchange and capacity-building initiatives, we have further strengthened the foundation’s work.
