JAANUU x CleanHub: Scrubs That Help Protect Our Oceans

At JAANUU, every decision we make starts with care, for the people who wear our products and for the world they work in. That’s why responsible production isn’t a side initiative for us—it’s a core part of our mission to create apparel that stands for more.

Over the past year, we’ve partnered with CleanHub, a global organization dedicated to intercepting plastic before it reaches our oceans and waterways. Together, we’ve already helped prevent 12,000 lbs. of plastic from entering the environment, and we’re committed to collecting another 12,000 lbs. in 2026. The scrubs your wear help make that possible.

Here’s how this partnership works and why it matters.

 

Why We Partner With CleanHub

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Each year, millions of tons of plastic slip into oceans, much of it from regions lacking reliable waste management systems. With over two billion metric tons of municipal solid waste generated globally every year (a number projected to rise nearly 70% by 2050), the risks to marine life, waterways, and communities continue to escalate.

CleanHub tackles this problem at its origin. Their mission centers on intercepting non-recyclable plastic in coastal communities and other high-risk regions, capturing waste before it ever reaches the sea. By acting where the need is greatest, CleanHub helps protect our oceans, safeguard ecosystems, and keep coastlines healthier for generations to come.

 

How CleanHub Ensures Transparency and Traceability

Across the world, CleanHub partners with waste-collection hubs that retrieve plastic from high-risk areas. To ensure accuracy and accountability, each hub uses CleanHub’s digital track-and-trace platform, recording every collection in real time.

Waste recovery teams log pickups through mobile apps, complete with photos, GPS coordinates, and material details. AI then processes the data, confirming weight, type, and location, to create a transparent chain for every kilogram collected. Beyond internal tracking, this system is independently audited and certified under ISO standards, reinforcing reliability and measurable impact.

Supporting the People Behind the Mission

Protecting our oceans is only part of CleanHub’s work. Equally important is their commitment to the people and communities who make plastic recovery possible.

By establishing and strengthening waste-collection networks in regions like India and Indonesia, CleanHub helps create stable, sustainable income opportunities. These roles offer skilled work, fair pay, and safe conditions that align with global labor standards. CleanHub also champions women in waste management—supporting benefits, training, and leadership development.

Beyond job creation, CleanHub invests in education and community-wide environmental awareness. Families learn practical waste-management skills and gain a deeper understanding of how pollution affects their long-term health—knowledge that creates lasting, generational change.

What This Means When You Wear JAANUU

When you put on your JAANUU uniform, you’re choosing more than scrubs. You’re choosing to stand for cleaner oceans.

Every purchase helps fund plastic-collection efforts that protect oceans and support the communities doing this critical work. It’s one more way healthcare professionals—people who care for others every day—can also care for the planet.

Your impact extends far beyond the shift.
