Our take
Blueland is re-imagining conventional household cleaning and personal care products as it answers the call for more sustainable products. Its product eliminates the need for wasteful plastic packaging and obtains an overall lower carbon footprint.
Blueland’s tablet-based refill system was initially focused on household cleansers, the company expanded into personal products in early 2022, and has released several new products in both categories throughout the year. The company is B Corporation Certified, Climate Neutral Certified, and has helped divert more than 1 billion single-use plastic bottles from landfills and waterways.
Featured on the US’s Shark Tank, which secured an investment by Kevin O’Leary, the company has seen further investment from big names like Prelude Growth Partners, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Justin Timberlake. Blueland has already proven its ability to diversify its product offerings and launch into new markets, a sure sign that the company is well set to continue to expand its global presence and overall market reach.
