1 product purchased = 1 pound of trash cleaned
UBB has always been a little obsessed with trash. They organized their first community cleanup the same week they sold their first t-shirt and have been hauling garbage out of the environment ever since. What started as a few graphic tees and local cleanup events has evolved into an entire line of sustainable clothing and accessories and cleanup operations all over the world – so they’re not letting go of their trash obsession anytime soon. Everything at United By Blue supports their 1-for-1 mission: for every product purchased, they clean a pound of trash.
Behind the more than 4.1 million pounds of trash they’ve removed so far, there are countless cleanups, volunteers, partners, and initiatives that got United By Blue there. They publish an impact report at the end of each year so you can read about how it all went down.
After years of proudly operating as a certified B-Corp and living out their 1-for-1 mission, UBB decided to take another step toward creating a more sustainable fashion industry by becoming Climate Neutral Certified.
In addition to using ethically sourced sustainable materials, United By Blue partners with factories that hold the highest standards for facilities and personnel, with the third-party certifications to back it up.
