#tide is a Swiss company focused on tackling plastic waste with a slogan that emphasizes turning 100% ocean-bound plastic into safe, useful products. The company was founded in 2018 and operates within the Manufacturing and Sustainability industries, with its headquarters in Switzerland. The company's core mission centers around the idea of giving value to plastic waste by collaborating with various partner organizations to collect and reuse existing plastic trash that ends up in the ocean, which amounts to over 12 million tons annually. #tide's efforts have resulted in the creation of recycled ocean-bound plastics, which are supplied through a regionalized supply chain and driven by social impact. This innovative approach has led to the development of #tide ocean material®, an award-winning material available in the form of recycled plastic pellets for plastic injection, recycled polyester yarn for textile applications, and recycled plastic filament for 3D printing. One of the company's key achievements is its successful collaborations with reputable brands such as Migros, Kvadrat, Maurice Lacroix, Tom Ford, Hugo Boss, and Winter & Company, where its recycled ocean-bound plastic has been utilized to create high-quality products. Additionally, #tide has partnered with the Institute for Materials Technology and Plastics Processing (IWK), a branch of the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil, Switzerland to develop and test its granular material. The company's latest investment, a Debt Financing investment, took place on 18 August 2022 and was secured from the Technology Fund. With a clear focus on sustainability and addressing the urgent need for action against plastic waste, #tide has positioned itself as a significant player in the effort to repurpose ocean-bound plastic for creating valuable, eco-friendly products.
