about us
I was horrified to learn that all the plastic I was throwing away was contaminating our water supply and generating hundred of microplastics in the water and food I was feeding my baby. I wanted to do my part to help, but it was impossible to find household products that didn't come packaged in plastic. From there, Blueland was born.
Throughout the process, we've helped eliminate over 1 billion plastic cleaning bottles from entering out landfills and oceans.

The Problem
The average person eats credit card’s worth of plastic each week - amounting to 74,000 microplastics each year.
Every year nearly 18 billion pounds of plastic enters the ocean - that's one garbage truck full every minute.
We generate enough plastic waste each year to circle the earth four times. And we can't recycle our way out of this plastic problem. Only 5% of plastic waste actually gets recycled!
The Solution
Keep our homes and planet clean with products that eliminate single-use plastic and can be refilled again (and again).
Most household cleaning products are 90% water.
We removed the water and created dry-form, concentrated tablets that are 20x smaller and lighter than the traditional cleaning bottle, significantly reducing emissions.
The Impact
single-use plastic bottles diverted from landfills and oceans
square feet of plastic packaging saved
pounds of CO2 saved
Our 7+ certifications hold us accountable and guide our commitment to human and environmental health.
Removing the water from our products and using tablets allowed us to package all of our refills in compostable paper and reduce our shipping emissions. We've been carbon neutral since 2020 and Climate Neutral Certified since 2021.
