Her name is Chu Be, a 40-year-old woman residing on Koh Chang in Thailand. Her livelihood centers around crab and fish fishing, but presently, her nets and the ocean yield nothing. When the monsoon season arrives and brings waste, Chu Be and her fellow fishermen diligently gather it, selling it to the #tide team. Stay tuned for the next episode of our Voices of #tide series!🎙️💙 #TurnTheTide #oceanplastic #plasticpollution #sustainability #breakfreefromplastic #plastic #oceanconservation #plasticfreeoceans #saynotoplastic #saveouroceans #plasticwaste #savetheocean #beachcleanup #beatplasticpollution #stopplastic #interview #podcast #kohchang created by #tide with #tide's original sound

A beautiful scenery turned into a garbage dump in Ranong, Thailand: “We were so happy to witness the beauty of the Hat Som Paen River undisturbed by plastic waste. But this feeling quickly changed when we discovered what was waiting for us 1 kilometer later”, reports our team in Thailand.

In the face of plastic pollution, we must act. That’s why we, at #tide , put all our efforts into closing the circle!♻️

Her name is Wiranuch. She is 53 years old, and she decided to join our team as she was looking for work to tackle the problem of plastic pollution in Thailand!🇹🇭

The plastic problem is particularly salient on Koh Chang during the rainy season: “The plastic comes from everywhere. I really hope that the world will become cleaner.”, says Wiranuch.

We are very happy to launch the first episode of our Voices of #tide series with Wiranuch. Nothing would be possible without the hard work of the people who help us close the circle!♻️🌊

We need to collect plastic waste before it ends up in nature!♻️🌊 That's why we create collection centers on remote islands like Koh Chang in the Andaman Sea. This approach helps prevent plastic ending up in the ocean. But at #tide we don't stop there. The collected plastic is recycled and turned into new, durable goods like bags, watches or reusable mugs.

We are proud to announce that Toni Rajala, the ice hockey world champion from Finland, is wearing a jersey made of our #tide ocean material. Toni made us the honor of talking about this special jersey in a film that also features his clube team mate Fabio Hofer. Both are big scorers in one of Switzerland's top ice hockey clubs, EHC Biel-Bienne.

The ice hockey club has inaugurated the special jersey creation with the help of sponsor Mastercard: Our #tide ocean material, made from recycled PET bottles, was used for this purpose. Together, we all want to raise awareness on environmental protection – from forests to the ocean.

The use of this innovative new shirt seems to have brought luck: EHC Biel-Bienne has been playing a tremendously good season; ranking in the second place for weeks in Switzerland's professional ice hockey league.

We are very happy to have teamed up with EHC Biel-Bienne to inspire change in the Winter sports world.

Childhood is very often considered to be the most propitious time to foster creativity. At #tide , we feel a responsibility to ensure that children can use their imagination in our workshops. And we highly value fun in learning.

💙Creative play is essential for child development; it encourages problem-solving, mental growth, and self-confidence. It is on this basis that we developed the activities of our educational program in Thailand. One of these activities consists of collecting microplastics on a beach and repurposing the fragments as decoration on wooden fish. This exercise is a great way to exemplify the concept of circularity while allowing children to explore their inventive potential in an amusing way.

🤝Many thanks to our amazing team in Thailand who have made all this possible – and to Maurice Lacroix for their contribution.

We can’t travel back in time to avoid plastic pollution: But we can pass on our knowledge to the young generation so they do better. #tide #tideoceanmaterial #oceanplastic #plasticpollution #education

Koh Chang is a small island in the Andaman Sea.🇹🇭 The people here live in harmony with nature. But in recent years, pollution disrupted this paradise: Plastic waste washed ashore from everywhere. Something had to be done. The local islanders asked #tide for help. Together, we established a waste management system. And we built a warehouse for collected plastic waste! #thailand #oceanplastic #beachcleanup #fyp #fypage #viral #saveourocean
