Pitch
About the Campaign
Together with the Swiss University of Applied Sciences, #tide® has developed a business model to collect, sort and recycle ocean-bound plastic.

The sustainable material from #tide® is already being used globally in various industries.

#tide's material is also used for textile products.

Market Opportunity
Every year, the world produces an estimated $700 billion worth of plastic (Source World Economic Forum). Only 9% of plastics are currently estimated to be recycled (Source United Nations Development Programme).
#tide® closes the circle and creates social and environmental impact by giving value to plastic waste.
The result is a high quality, versatile recycled material, tracked and traceable on Blockchain technology.
