VersaCourt and #tide® Bring Sustainable Athletic Courts to the World for Unforgettable Sports Experiences
VersaCourt, an industry leader in designing and manufacturing athletic courts has partnered with Tide Ocean SA, a Swiss supplier of high-quality recycled plastic granules, to make a difference in the sports flooring industry and protect the oceans. Together, they have meticulously developed a sustainable athletic court system made with #tide’s recycled ocean-bound plastic material.
These high-performance court systems can be adapted to multiple sports, from racquet sports to basketball, and easily installed in various locations - from parking lots to backyards. In addition, VersaCourt's unique six-point locking system makes installation simple. This resilient court design was built to bring communities and families together from all corners of the world. It also serves to demonstrate that innovation toward sustainability in the plastic industry is possible.
Thomas Schori, founder of Tide Ocean SA, says: “We are thrilled to start a long-term partnership with VersaCourt to improve the well-being of communities all around the world and the health of our oceans. By using our recycled material from Mexico and the Caribbean, VersaCourt is...making an important social impact by creating jobs and waste management systems. We are giving waste a value. It is important to us to do what we can to improve the quality of life for the community, and in that, VersaCourt and we are the same."
Partnership Kick Off
The partnership kicked off with the installation of VersaCourt athletic court in the Mexican port city of Progreso on the Yucatán Peninsula. Tide Ocean (MPS) LLC and VersaCourt donated the court to the city to raise awareness around pollution and unite the community for years to come. Adults, teens, families, everyone is invited to play on the sustainable court and create lasting memories. What makes this court design stand out is not only its quality, but its ability to send a positive message about togetherness, environmental stewardship, and the importance of an active lifestyle. Both VersaCourt and #tide take a proactive approach to protecting the environment and bringing communities together for the benefit of all.
