Oceanfoam Achieves Carbon Positive Status in 2025
In a significant milestone for the fitness and wellness industry, Oceanfoam, a pioneering active lifestyle brand dedicated to sustainability, has announced its achievement of carbon positive status going into 2025. This emerging brand stands out in a crowded market by focusing on both fitness innovation and environmental stewardship, demonstrating how eco-conscious practices can coexist with high-quality product design.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Launched recently, Oceanfoam has quickly made a name for itself by developing foam products that utilize sustainable materials, primarily algae and recycled foam. Unlike other brands, Oceanfoam goes beyond just using eco-friendly materials; they have made substantial contributions to cleaning our environment. In total, they have successfully cleaned over
1 million gallons of water, eliminated
1,319.91 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and removed over
7,947 pounds of plastic from our oceans. This demonstrates not only their commitment to sustainability but also their innovative approach to problem-solving within the fitness sphere.
Innovative Product Design
The company's product line includes a variety of workout essentials such as foam rollers, yoga mats, wave ball rollers, and workout blocks, all designed with sustainability in mind. They utilize
Bloom algae harvested from North America's surplus as a byproduct of rising global temperatures. This strategic choice helps to clean oceans while also capturing carbon emissions.
Founder Zachary Quinn expressed excitement over this achievement, remarking, "We've been working on this for a year since we launched and Oceanfoam is now officially carbon positive! We believe products can be more than objects. Foam rollers live in our living rooms, bedrooms, offices, gyms, and workout studios; they need to look good and make you feel good. We aimed to design a foam roller that you didn't have to hide away, and now we've created one that you can proudly display."
Steps Towards Carbon Positive Status
Achieving carbon positive status has involved several key initiatives:
- - Algae-Based Materials: The use of Bloom materials allows Oceanfoam to minimize plastic consumption while helping to clean waterways by removing algae from the environment.
- - Carbon Offsetting: Collaborating with Climate Partner, Oceanfoam has successfully offset its entire carbon footprint resulting from production and shipping. This ensures they operate beyond simple carbon neutrality.
- - Ocean Plastic Cleanup: Oceanfoam's partnership with organizations like 4Ocean and Ecodrive demonstrates a strong commitment to more than just its products. For every order placed, one pound of ocean plastic is removed, contributing to marine ecosystem protection.
Recognition and Future Prospects
The brand's carbon positive certification will soon be reflected on Amazon as a “Climate Pledge Friendly” badge. This distinction informs consumers of products featuring recognized sustainability benefits. Oceanfoam aims to be a leader not just in fitness, but in the movement toward greater environmental responsibility in consumer products. For more details on their mission and product offerings, visit
