Product & Materials

What are Tidal Tees made from?

Tidal Tees are made from a blend of plastics including ocean recycled plastic. Tidal Tees also contain an additive to help the plastic degrade faster in landfills.

What is ocean-recycled plastic, and how is it used in your products?

Ocean recycled plastic used in Tidal Tees are recovered and recycled from ocean bound sources. The plastic used in Tidal Tees is provided by HHI and is certified to be sourced from oceanbound sources like rivers and other waterways leading to the ocean within a 50 mile distance from the ocean.

Why do you use a blend of ocean plastic and virgin material in your products?

Tidal Tees are primarily made from Oceanbound Recycled HHI 9055 PP provided by HHI. A smaller percentage of the blend of plastic is virgin material, which is added to improve the durability of the product. However the majority of the material in the blend is made from the ocean recycled material.

Are your products durable enough for regular use

Tidal Tees have similar durability as virgin plastic tees on the market

How are Tidal Tees different from standard golf tees?

Tidal Tees are different because with ever purchase and use of Tidal Tees you are helping to recycle and re-use plastic materials that otherwise would pollute our waterways and oceans.

Environmental Impact & Sustainability

How does Tidal Golf help reduce ocean plastic waste?

Tidal Golf directly reduces ocean plastic waste found in oceans and waterways by making its products using ocean recycled materials. Every purchase of Tidal Golf products helps contribute to recycling and re-using those materials that otherwise would be polluting waterways and oceans. Tidal Golf also works with organizations like 4Ocean to donate money to ocean clean-up and other conservation efforts

Who is HHI, and how is it involved in sourcing the ocean-recycled plastic for your products?

HHI sources and certifies supply chains of ocean recycled materials, auditing the supply chain and certifying that materials are coming from the ocean or other waterways feeding to the ocean. They guarantee that the materials we use in our products are coming from the ocean and other waterways feeding into the ocean.

How much plastic waste is removed with each purchase?

Each Large Bag of Tidal Tees reduces 52g of ocean plastic waste. Each Small Bag of Tidal Tees reduces 23g of ocean plastic waste

Why can’t you use 100% ocean-recycled plastic in your products?

Ocean Plastic is recycled material and often can be more brittle than virgin plastics. When we tested our Tidal Tees using 100% ocean plastic, the tees were not durable enough to compete with other plastic tees on the market. Having a small percentage of virgin plastic included in the blend of material gives the tees more durability, similar to competitor plastic tees.

What other sustainability efforts are you involved in?

Tidal Golf works with 4Oceans to contribute to ocean clean up activities, donating a percentage of product sales to the organization. You can also choose to donate to 4Ocean when you complete your purchase, by selecting to donate $2 to 4Ocean at checkout.
