Blue Sky Scrubs Celebrates World Oceans Day with Commitment to Sustainability and Ocean Conservation

Austin, TX - June 5, 2025 - In recognition of World Oceans Day, Blue Sky Scrubs, a pioneer in premium medical apparel, proudly joins the global call to protect and restore the health of our oceans. Since its founding in 2005, Blue Sky Scrubs has embraced environmentally responsible practices - and on this special day, the company reaffirms its mission to support a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future for our planet.

World Oceans Day, officially recognized by the United Nations, is celebrated every year on June 8. It serves as a rallying point for individuals, businesses, and governments to take concrete action toward safeguarding the oceans that sustain all life on Earth. This year's theme, "Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean & Climate", urges communities worldwide to unite around the urgent need to protect marine ecosystems and address climate change.

"Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth's surface and produce more than half the oxygen we breathe," says Stephanie Beard, Founder and CEO of Blue Sky Scrubs. "As a company deeply committed to sustainability and wellness, we believe our responsibility doesn't end with great scrubs - it extends to the planet we all share."

A Brand Born with Purpose

Since day one, Blue Sky Scrubs has built its brand on values of quality, integrity, and environmental stewardship . Long before sustainability became a trend, the company implemented eco-conscious choices in its supply chain, packaging, and product development.

*
Minimal Waste Production - Blue Sky Scrubs follows lean manufacturing principles to reduce textile waste during production. Patterns are optimized to use as much fabric as possible, and leftover material is repurposed or recycled wherever feasible.

*
Eco-Friendly Packaging - Orders are shipped in recyclable materials with minimal plastic usage, and efforts are made to reduce shipping emissions by using consolidated delivery methods.

*
Durable, Long-Lasting Apparel - By designing scrubs that are built to last, Blue Sky encourages reduced consumer waste. High-quality materials and classic styles extend the life cycle of each garment.

"Sustainability is not a marketing strategy for us - it's part of our DNA," adds Beard. "We've been designing with the Earth in mind since our very first stitch."

The Oceans Are in Crisis

The world's oceans are facing unprecedented threats. From plastic pollution and overfishing to coral bleaching and rising sea levels, the health of our marine ecosystems is rapidly declining. According to the UN, 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year, and nearly one-third of fish stocks are overexploited.

Climate change has further compounded the crisis, causing ocean temperatures to rise, altering marine food chains, and intensifying the frequency of extreme weather events.

"Healthy oceans are vital to life, but they are not invincible," says marine ecologist Dr. Rachel Lam, a World Oceans Day ambassador. "We need urgent, coordinated action across all sectors - from individuals and communities to corporations and policymakers."

Blue Sky's Oceans Day Action Plan

To celebrate World Oceans Day 2025, Blue Sky Scrubs is launching a weeklong campaign, "Scrub the Ocean Clean", from June 8-15. During this campaign:

*
10% of all profits will be donated to ocean conservation organizations, including:

*
The Ocean Cleanup, focused on removing plastic from oceans and rivers

*
Surfrider Foundation, dedicated to protecting clean water and coastlines

*
Oceana, working to restore biodiversity through policy reform

*
Blue Sky will host an internal Plastic-Free Challenge, encouraging employees and customers to reduce single-use plastic use in their daily lives. Participants will receive a digital sustainability toolkit and be entered into a giveaway for eco-conscious gear.

*
The company will also publish an educational blog series throughout the week, spotlighting ocean conservation heroes, sustainable living tips, and the connection between climate change and public health.

"As a company rooted in the healthcare industry, we see ocean health as a human health issue," says Beard. "Whether it's the food we eat, the air we breathe, or the communities we serve, everything is connected."

Looking Ahead: A Greener Future for Medical Apparel

Blue Sky Scrubs is also exploring new ways to make its products even more eco-friendly. The company is currently investing in research and development of sustainable fabric blends, including those made from recycled ocean plastic and regenerative organic cotton.

Additionally, the brand is piloting a scrub recycling program, where customers can return their worn-out garments for responsible disposal or reuse - a step toward closing the loop and reducing medical apparel waste.

"We're not perfect, but we're always striving to do better," Beard says. "If we can inspire our customers - many of whom are doctors, nurses, and caregivers - to care more deeply about the planet, then we've succeeded."

A Call to Action

World Oceans Day is not just about raising awareness; it's about driving action. Blue Sky Scrubs invites its customers, partners, and community to become part of the solution. Small actions - like skipping plastic bags, choosing sustainable brands, or learning about ocean conservation - add up to big impacts.

Together, we can create a future where our oceans are vibrant, resilient, and thriving.

"Every decision we make - as consumers, as companies, as citizens - matters," Beard concludes. "We're proud to be part of a global movement to protect the blue heart of our planet."
