United By Blue Sustainability Actions

Removed 4 million pounds of trash

In 2021, United By Blue officially made it to the 4 million pound milestone of all-time trash collected.

Expanded cleanup operations

The growth of our two international cleanup operations in Indonesia and the Philippines allowed us to conduct ongoing trash collections with the help of our partners, Sungai Watch and Plastic Bank.

Held community cleanups

2021 also brought the return of community cleanups. After more than a year of postponing our nationwide events, we were thrilled to be back in action, leaving local waterways better than we found them with our community volunteers and partners.

Hosted 225 DIY cleanups

While COVID precautions meant a smaller-than-usual community cleanup tour, the UBB community kept the do-good spirit alive by hosting a massive 225 DIY cleanups all across the US.

Recertified as a B Corp

As a Certified B Corp, we voluntarily undergo regular third-party audits to ensure we’re upholding the highest social and environmental standards in our operations. In 2021, we completed the process of getting recertified and achieved a new score of 84.4 (from 80.1 in 2017).

Created The Impact Collection

In an effort to make sustainable, ethically-made products accessible to as many people as possible, we created The Impact Collection: an exclusive line of responsibly-made clothing and accessories for Target. Everything in The Impact Collection counts towards our one-for-one trash removal mission, is produced in the same ethical facilities as our main line, and is crafted with planet-friendly materials like hemp, organic cotton, and recycled polyester.

Added brand partners

In addition to removing as much ocean-bound trash from the environment as possible, our goal is to become a one-stop sustainable marketplace. To curate a wide variety of sustainably-made essentials, we turn to partner brands whose products and missions we believe in just as much as our own. This year, unitedbyblue.com became home to 49 additional brand partners.
