The pioneering brand making foam products with algae and recycled foam has cleaned over 1m+ gallons of water, removed 1.3k+ tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and removed 7.9k+ pounds of plastic from the ocean.

NAPLES, Fla., Jan. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Oceanfoam, an active lifestyle brand committed to sustainability, announces it has achieved a carbon positive status going into 2025. A newcomer in the fitness and wellness industry, the sustainable company is poised to continue simultaneously revolutionizing the fitness industry and helping the planet, making a significant environmental impact and raising awareness. The company designs fitness products made with Bloom algae and recycled material. In addition to foam rollers, Oceanfoam has released workout and yoga mats, wave ball rollers and workout blocks.

By prioritizing sustainability in the development of each item, Oceanfoam has made a significant environmental impact. The brand has cleaned over 1,026,896 gallons of water, removed 1,319.91 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and removed 7,947 pounds of plastic from the ocean. The algae used is harvested from North America’s overabundant supply (due to the rise of global temperatures), thus helping to clean the water and reduce the amount of carbon released into the air.

“We’ve been working on this for a year since we launched and Oceanfoam is now officially carbon positive!,” said Founder Zachary Quinn. “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 set out to design a foam roller that you didn’t have to put in your closet, and now we’ve made it one that you can be proud of.”

Oceanfoam achieved its carbon positive status through the following:

Algae-Based Materials: Producing products with Bloom Materials reduces plastic consumption while capturing carbon and cleaning water through removing algae from the environment.Carbon Offsetting: Partnering with Climate Partner, the team offset the remaining carbon emissions from all of its production and shipping to ensure its operations go beyond carbon neutrality.Ocean Plastic Cleanup: Through collaborations with 4Ocean and Ecodrive, the brand actively contributes to cleaning up plastic waste from the world’s oceans, helping to protect marine ecosystems. With every order, one pound of ocean plastic is removed.

This certification and offset will also add a “Climate Pledge Friendly” badge to all of Oceanfoam’s products on Amazon, alerting consumers of products that have sustainability features recognized by trusted certifications. For more information, visit oceanfoam.com.
