Founded in 2010, United by Blue is a Philadelphia based company that produces responsible & durable goods with a mission to keep the beautiful outdoors clean and ready for life’s next adventure.
“We believe that every living creature is united by the blue of our world’s oceans and waterways and we all have the responsibility to protect them.”
UBB uses only sustainable materials to make each product while donating their time to environmental action with each purchase. “For every product sold, UBB removes one pound of trash from oceans and waterways through company organized and hosted cleanups.”
Located in Old City, Philadelphia, they “use re-purposed materials…creat[ing] a space that mixes [their] complete line of apparel and accessories with a full-fledged coffeehouse serving up some of the city’s finest organic coffee and food.”
Their brand mainly focuses on producing outdoor apparel that will withstand continuous adventure. “We’re inspired by the go-getters, the landscape around the waters we clean, and a really good cup of pour over coffee.”
In the everyday clutter, for-profit businesses must stand above the competition. United by Blue captured the essence of putting a twist on the common retailer. I’m inspired by their mission to make the world a better place through sustainable materials. The millennial generation loves supporting causes and identifying with products, companies, organizations, etc. who contribute more than the banality of the everyday. These young entrepreneurs desire to not only share their passion for sustainable goods, but also give back to our community and earth. With countless other one-for-one businesses, UBB promises to support not just monetarily, but by giving their time as well.

Wow, this is a really interesting company that I had not heard of until now. I’ve heard of a lot of companies that are trying to make products using sustainable materials, but it’s rare to hear of one that both tries to make those products and gives back to clean up the environment as well!
