Ocean Bound Plastic

Every minute, the equivalent of a truckload of plastic waste enters the sea, disrupting its delicate ecosystem.

Ocean-bound Plastic refers to plastic waste from the ocean, coastlines, and uncontrolled landfills located within a 50 km radius of the coast (Tide Ocean focuses on 10 km from the coast). Due to a lack of waste management systems and infrastructure, most of this plastic in coastal regions ultimately enters the sea.

The Facts:

80%
of the plastic polluting the oceans comes from land-based sources.

14 million
tons of plastic are dumped into our oceans every year

40%
of plastic produced worldwide is packaging, mostly used only once

0%
virgin plastics in #tide ocean material

800
animal species are affected by marine litter

#TIDE OCEAN MATERIAL

#tide ocean material is an award-winning material made from 100% Ocean Bound Plastic and partially processed with renewable energy. The plastic is collected, sorted, shredded into flakes, and thoroughly cleaned. It is then further processed regionally to reduce CO₂ emissions and transport routes – giving the material a second life as high-quality packaging.

Traceability in the Value Chain

Sustainability needs credibility. Where many companies engage in greenwashing, #tide relies on genuine traceability. Transparency has been part of their business model from day one.

To achieve this, #tide® uses a blockchain solution: every step – from collecting ocean-bound plastic to the finished granulate – is documented. Each batch is tracked, so the origin and processing of the plastic can be traced.

This is how we build trust, ensure quality, and contribute to a true circular economy.
