United by Blue is a sustainable clothing and lifestyle brand that is dedicated to creating beautiful clothing for the whole family while combating the plastic pollution crisis in our oceans and waterways. So far they have removed over 2 million pounds of trash from bodies of water across the United States.

What makes them sustainable?

Just about everything they do! They source their materials from natural fibres and organic certified farmers. They remove one pound of trash from the ocean or other body of water with every item purchased to combat the plastic pollution crisis. They actively work to reduce their waste, and even offer carbon offsetting with every online order.

Do they have ethical policies in place?

Mostly! They do great things for the environment including hosting cleanups, using renewable energy, and creating products from natural and sustainable materials. Although there is evidence that they provide a fair and living wage to most of their supply chain, there is not enough evidence regarding other aspects because there is no evidence of a Code of Conduct protecting workers rights. They use leather and wool for some items.

Is their shipping carbon neutral or sustainable?

United by Blue works with "Cloverly," who calculates carbon emissions and corresponding offsets in real time at checkout. They take into consideration your personal package's weight and origin and your destination. Cloverly purchases an offset instrument for reducing, avoiding, or sequestering the same amount of carbon somewhere else in the environment, making your shipping order, carbon neutral!

Is their packaging sustainable or recyclable?

They have a #QuitSingleUse pledge to eliminate plastic and other harmful materials from their packaging. This is still in process, but for the most part all of their packaging is recyclable.
