Pulling trash out of the water since 2010

Our Story

1 product purchased = 1 pound of trash cleaned

A World Without Waste

We’ve always been a little obsessed with trash. We organized our first community cleanup the same week we sold our 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 we’re not letting go of our trash obsession anytime soon. Everything at United By Blue supports our 1-for-1 mission: for every product purchased, we clean a pound of trash.

Join Us For A Cleanup

Why We Do It

Because, quite frankly, the world already has enough garbage. The overwhelming amount of trash in the environment is polluting our beaches, choking our wildlife, and contaminating our drinking water – and we’re committed to doing something about it. Our hope is that through engaging cleanups, better business practices, and trash-cleaning products we can clean up the planet and the fashion industry one sustainable choice at a time.

A Measurable Impact

Behind the more than 5.6 million pounds of trash we’ve removed so far, there are countless cleanups, volunteers, partners, and initiatives that got us there. Read our 2025 impact report to see how it all went down.
