#TIDE OCEAN MATERIAL

Hello there!

Nice to meet you. We're #tide, a provider of recycled ocean-bound plastics for sustainable products. Sourced through our regionalized supply chain and driven by social impact.

The QR-code you just scanned is attached to a product made of our #tide ocean material®.

Where others see waste, we see value. Which is why we give ocean-bound plastic a second life as a valuable resource.

We have developed an award winning method to upcycle ocean-bound plastic waste into new quality products such as carpets, furniture upholstery, packaging, watches, sport floors or consumer electronics.

A global network of waste collection

The plastic for #tide ocean material® has been collected at the following locations:

In Thailand for example, we collaborate with fishermen in the Andaman Sea. They pick up plastic waste from the ocean, from the coast and from uncontrolled landfills close to the coast and according to the standards set by the internationally renown OBP-certification.

This plastic waste is then brought to a social enterprise in Ranong, Thailand. There the workers receive the plastic, pay the fishermen and sort the plastic before it is further processed. Sorting the waste is key for a successful recycling process, it is laborious and takes a lot of training.
