Who we are.
Second Tide puts sustainable product and packaging designs into production, and runs returns, resale, refurbishment and material recovery for manufacturers, distributors and retailers. It is designed to recover cash first, and cut waste as a result.
Why Second Tide.
Second Tide gives products and materials a second life, and gives businesses back value they would otherwise write off.
We design recovery to make money first, because that’s what makes it last; less waste follows. Second Tide is piloting with specialist recovery partners and works closely with Convoy, BankStreet and Waterfront Advisory.
Our principles.
Value first
Recovering cash is what makes circularity last.
Every item counts
The best route for each product, not one route for all.
Honest reporting
Cash recovered and waste avoided; measured, not claimed.
