Our Bonus Program

Tidey Ocean operates a flexible rewards initiative for individuals who collect ocean-bound plastic, enabling them to exchange their contributions for goods and services that enhance quality of life. The organization awards one point per pound collected, which participants can redeem from an extensive selection.

The catalog spans multiple categories. Large, durable offerings include improved wood stoves, propane appliances, home solar systems, refrigerators, washing machines, microwaves, bicycles, garden towers, beehives, and livestock. Health and household items feature water filtration systems, electric toothbrushes, rechargeable batteries, reusable bottles, first aid supplies, thermometers, educational materials, and grooming kits.

Each item was selected deliberately. Improved wood stoves reduce fuel consumption and indoor smoke exposure. Propane provides cleaner-burning alternatives. Solar technology enables lighting and phone charging for off-grid homes. Refrigeration preserves food and reduces waste. Washing machines save time and reduce clothing wear. Water filtration systems minimize recurring costs and plastic consumption. Garden towers increase food security. Livestock and beehives support nutrition or income generation. Bicycles improve market and educational access. Rechargeable batteries cut waste. Dental care supports preventive health. Educational resources promote literacy and opportunity. First aid kits enable home health management.

The program emphasizes respecting collector priorities and cultural context. Complex items like beehives, solar systems, and livestock receive accompanying training and local guidance. The organization continuously refines offerings based on community feedback and real-world effectiveness.
