OCEAN-BOUND PLASTIC
Our oceans are suffering from plastic pollution. Each minute, the equivalent to one truckload of plastic waste ends up in the sea, disrupting its delicate ecosystem.
Ocean-bound plastic is plastic waste from the ocean, coastlines, and uncontrolled landfills at least within 50km of the coast. Due to a lack of
waste management systems and infrastructures, most of the plastic in coastal regions ends up in the ocean.
88%
of the sea’s surface is polluted by plastic waste
10M
tons of plastic are dumped in our oceans every year
40%
of plastic produced is packaging, used just once
800
species are harmed by marine debris
#TIDE OCEAN MATERIAL
#tide ocean material is an award-winning resourcemade from 100% ocean-bound plastic and compounded with renewable energy.Ocean-bound plastic is collected, sorted, shredded into flakes, and washed. It’s then processed regionally to reduce CO2-Emissions and transportation,allowing the material to livea second life as packaging.
