Blueland

Blueland is revolutionizing conventional cleaning and personal care products to eliminate the need for single-use plastic packaging, with our reusable, refillable products. We believe that we should be able to have a clean home without sacrificing a clean planet and that sustainable choices can be convenient, effective and affordable. We are a science-driven company with a pipeline of proprietary products that started with our cleaning sprays and hand soap. To date, we’ve already helped divert more than 1 billion single-use plastic bottles from landfills and waterways. We were the 2nd fastest growing direct-to-consumer in 2020, and have over 350K Instagram followers. We’re proud to be B Corporation Certified, recognized for meeting the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Blueland was featured on the Season 11 premiere of Shark Tank, securing an investment by Kevin O’Leary. Blueland is well-funded by top tier venture capital firms as well as notable investors including Gwyneth Paltrow, Justin Timberlake and founders of Sweetgreen, Thrive Market, Honest Company, Rent the Runway, and Bonobos. We’ve been featured across top tier outlets such as the New York Times, Fast Company, TechCrunch, VOGUE, Wall Street Journal, Inc., and more.
