Founded by Dan Black, a man on a mission to rid the world of single-use plastic bottles and take away containers, Black & Blum design unique and sustainable products that look great and are made to last. As they say 'Buy once, buy well'.

They make clever use of materials in the design of their range, always trying to select those that can either be recycled, are biodegradable or natural materials like cork or bamboo which can be harvested sustainably. Where possible they try to use non-plastic materials like wood, glass or stainless steel, which give their products a rugged quality, with a longer life and less impact on the environment.

They support two charities, (City Harvest and Trees For Cities) through their membership to 1% for the Planet which commits them to donating at least one percent of their total annual sales to non-profit environmental causes.
