OUR GIVING

OUT OF THE OCEAN® GIVES BACK

We always say there is no perfect route to sustainability. That’s why with each iteration of our bags, we try to do better. Whether it be improving durability, identifying novel renewable materials for a reduced carbon footprint, or building out supply chains focused on recycling to lessen the impact on landfills, our goal is to always deliver a better bag.

Beyond our own efforts, we are a member of the 1% for the Planet and proudly donate our 1% to the National Forest Foundation to support their Sapling Program.
