About #tide

 

Based in Basel, Switzerland, #tide® is committed to building a global supply chain for premium second-life raw materials made from ocean-bound plastic waste. Through a mechanical process, that does not employ chemicals, they are able to transform ocean-bound plastic waste into yarns. 

 
 

#tide® works closely with local communities, by organising beach clean-ups and by educating them to collect the plastic before it reaches the ocean, preventing waste dispersion, and safeguarding the marine biodiversity and ecosystem.

Moreover, #tide® is devoted to improving these communities' quality of life by offering employment opportunities with fair wages, providing social security, and building resilient waste management infrastructures.

Transparency lies at the core of #tide®'s mission to create a trusted label for upcycled ocean-bound plastic.

Empower, an award-winning provider of blockchain-based tracking technology plays a pivotal role in ensuring the authenticity of #tide®'s ocean-bound materials. Their partnership aims to provide a cutting-edge solution for verifying the origins of these materials, reinforcing their commitment to supply chain traceability.

Through our partnership with #tide®, we support an innovative circular economy model. Together, we directly contribute to protecting the ocean, providing the local communities with social security, and complying with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
