Collected with care, crafted with purpose
The journey of #tide ocean material® begins with plastic waste collected along coasts and island communities before it reaches the sea. This responsible sourcing model supports local livelihoods while preventing pollution at its origin. Recovered plastic can become the starting point for traceable, certified material.
The science behind #tide ocean material®
#tide ocean material® is created through a mechanical process developed with scientists from OST University. The collected plastic is cleaned, refined and converted into high-grade granules, then spun into strong, colourful yarns. The result is a robust textile that meets Certina’s expectations for durability and everyday comfort.
Where design meets conscious materials
Selected Certina models feature straps made from #tide ocean material®, chosen for its strength, comfort, and certified sustainable origin. Lightweight and long-lasting, it aligns naturally with the brand’s connection to the ocean as a responsible alternative to traditional strap materials without compromising performance.
