Giving plastic waste a value with #Tide Ocean Material®

Tide Ocean SA is a Swiss company with offices in Basel, Lengnau, Ranong and Hong Kong. Originally connected to the Swiss Watchmaking Industry, #tide was founded when looking into the possibility of using ocean plastic for watchstraps. He found out that no such thing had been attempted yet.

Since then, by reusing ocean-bound plastics to produce premium raw materials for sustainable products, Tide Ocean Material® is providing granules for plastic injection (for watches, furniture, electronic device etc.), yarn for textile applications, and filament for 3D print.

Within three years, the upcycled plastic waste from the ocean and coastlines has been used to create high-quality products by reputable brands such as Maurice Lacroix, Tom Ford and Hugo Boss.

Tide ocean material® can be applied to an endless variety of durable products: from watches to furniture, automotive parts to apparel, consumer electronics to carpets or sports floors and construction.

The core team is made up of 14 employees.
