Manufactured by Tide Ocean SA
Solutions made entirely from plastic found in the ocean, coastlines, and uncontrolled landfills.
Today, many end products produced using recycled ocean plastic contain only approximately 30% recycled material and are then mixed with virgin PET to maintain performance. The company has developed a formula that reverses damage caused by UV rays and saltwater, allowing for end products to be made with 100% recycled ocean plastic without the need for virgin materials to stabilize performance.

REPREVE® Our Ocean™
A premium collection of fiber and resin sourced from 100% post-consumer bottles that are collected within 50 km of coastlines in countries or areas that lack formal waste or recycling systems and thus are at high risk of ending up in the ocean. The company is developing recycling programs in areas such as Haiti and Mexico where plastic is the most at risk of entering a marine environment.
