Stop ocean plastic at the source.
We pay fair wages to collectors in Guatemala to recover plastic before it reaches the ocean. Every pound is tracked on the blockchain.

How it works
From pollution to purpose.
Every year, 11 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean. Most comes from a few dozen rivers in countries that lack the infrastructure to stop it. Tidey works directly in those communities.
Community Collection
We support collection hubs in coastal communities where people exchange plastic waste for food, clean water, or fair pay. Pollution becomes purpose.
Local Cleanups
Our team and local partners recover ocean-bound plastic from neighborhoods, rivers, mangroves, and shorelines, stopping it before it reaches the ocean.
Verified Recycling
We track every pound on the BanQu blockchain. Donors and partners see exactly where, when, and by whom the plastic was recovered.
Three ways forward
Every action makes an impact.
The Maria Linda
Pacific coast, Guatemala
Guatemala's plastic hotspot
3.2 million pounds a year. One river.
The Maria Linda river leaks 3.2 million pounds of plastic into the Pacific every year, more than any other river on the west coast of the Americas. Tidey Ocean operates collection hubs along its banks.
Every $50 donated funds one full workday of paid collection and recovers 50 pounds of ocean-bound plastic.
Your $10 recovers 10 lbs of ocean plastic.
100% of donations track to a specific cleanup. Pay fair wages, fund recycling, see your impact on the blockchain.
