OceanProducts

At #tide, we are on a journey to make a lasting impact. We prevent ocean-bound plastic waste from entering the oceans and help communities in need.

Our impact-driven business model consists of collecting and giving a second life to ocean-bound plastic (OBP) waste. We have developed a mechanical method to upcycle OBP into high-quality granules that can be used to create new products.

Because of its versatility, there literally is an ocean of possibilities with our #tide ocean material®. To showcase the wide ranging applications, we created a sustainable merchandise line of our own: the OceanProducts. This collection can be customized and branded. #tide's merchandise can be a wonderful meaningful giveaway for customers and employees. A promotional gift with a strong sustainable and social message.

The plastics used for these series are 100% ocean-bound. It is much more than a product line acting in favor of the environment, it also stands for strict ethical standards and creates a social impact. We, at #tide, care about the environment, people, and we work hard to render our operations as transparent as possible. All of this is reflected in our daily activities, our value chains, and the sustainable products that we make.

Reusable Travel Mugs

Coffee is the favorite drink of many people. Whether you're driving in the car or commuting by train: a good coffee-to-go keeps you awake and warm. What has been missing so far: A coffee and tea mug that also serves a good cause. So here comes the perfect gift for conscious connoisseurs.

Our OceanMug is made of 100% ocean-bound plastic. We from #tide have collected, recycled and manufactured it, so what once was ocean-bound plastic gets a second life as a safe, sustainable and reusable beverage cup. The mug consists of recycled and reinforced PET (mug) and PP (spoon) and follows the requirement of the German Food Act, the internationally recognized Regulation Act for food safety.

The OceanMug is leak and spill proof thanks to its smart twist lock system and its precision fitting spoon. It's suitable for dishwashers and can be used over and over again. By using this sustainable mug, you reduce your own carbon footprint, raise awareness and belong to the pioneers who show that ocean-bound plastic waste can be elevated into durable, fashionable and safe products.

The OceanMug family comes in four different trendy colours: #tide's signature petrol, light pink, grey and anthracite/black.

The Game with a Domino effect

Taking literally the metaphor of the domino effect, we introduce to you: OceanDomino, the first Domino game with real impact.

Playing a game is one of the best ways to connect with people. Why not make your next game night even more meaningful by inspiring a conversation about plastic pollution?

And why a domino game?

Because we love the metaphor: Small actions can have huge consequences if they happen in the right environment. This phenomenon is called the domino effect and we hope it will apply to our actions as well. Even though we’re already processing hundreds of tons of ocean-bound plastic waste per year we know that there are still millions of tons threatening the environment and that we are a long way from solving the plastic pollution in the oceans.

But we also know that we have started something and we hope that many others will join us, creating said domino effect: Collecting ocean-bound plastic and bringing it back into the material circle. Until there’s no plastic finding it’s way into the oceans anymore.

You play the game – and keep the ocean clean.

Sustainable Totebags

Are you looking for the perfect eco-friendly companion to carry small items in good conscience? We’ve got you covered: Meet our OceanTotebag.

It comes in our recognizable petrol blue color, and it’s made of 100% #tide ocean material®. This means that it is comprised of 100% repurposed ocean-bound plastic.

Meant to be used and reused, the sustainable tote bag symbolizes circularity; it brings back into the cycle what was once lost in the environment.

The rPET utilized to create the OceanTotebag is 5x more eco-friendly than virgin PET. This entails that by acquiring OceanTotebags, one not only reduces their carbon footprint, but also contributes to the protection of the oceans and participates in supporting local communities.

At #tide, our goal is not only to put a stop to plastic pollution through preventive efforts, but also to reduce poverty. That’s why we pay fair wages to the people who have joined our mission to close the material cycle.

Complete your summer outfit with our sustainable sunglasses. They are made from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic. The rPET granules present in the sunglasses produce up to 80% less CO2 emissions than virgin PET. They are a sustainable alternative to all the frames made from extracted fossil materials.

By choosing our sustainable sunglasses, you will not only protect the ocean, but contribute to a circular economy for plastics. They'll make you look good not only in the mirror, but also in the eyes of the oceans and their ecosystems.
