US-based sustainable cleaning product brand Blueland has secured $20m in a funding round to expand its line of cleaning products in tablet form.
Proceeds from the funding will be used to expedite the company’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) and retail growth and boost its continued expansion in the cleaning category.
Blueland also plans to enter the personal care category and has already prepared new product launches. The company expects to debut its new offerings this year.
Blueland co-founder and CEO Sarah Paiji Yoo said: “When we started Blueland, we set out to change both consumer behaviour and industry practices around plastic consumption and production.
“We’ve seen tremendous positive reception as the first and leading brand to use no single-use plastic across all our cleaning products, and we are excited to expand into additional categories and channels and reach more consumers to maximise our impact on the planet.”
