Aluminum: Ready to Go Green?

Aluminum: Ready to Go Green? 960 830 Chloe

Did you know that Aluminum is considered Infinitely Recyclable? According to United Aluminum, “Nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today…it can be recycled indefinitely without compromising its quality or integrity…since aluminum boasts impressive strength-to-weight ratio.”

As Blue Dog is in the Beverage Distribution business, weight can be an important factor when filling our trucks and routing our deliveries for the many cities, counties and areas we deliver to. As people get more economically conscious, more consumers are leaning away from single-use plastic and heavy glass bottles, and towards reusable aluminum bottles or cans. 

We wanted to showcase some of our newer products that come in aluminum cans or bottles that are available to all customers in Northern California. Blue Dog is your one-stop shop for Non-Alcoholic Beverages, including 600+ craft sodas, waters, juices, mixers and more!
