We are available via email at info@bluemarketak.com if you need to reach us for any reason while we roll up our sleeves and begin construction :)

sustainable

We offer creative sustainable options for purchasing items with re-usable, repurposed, and recycled containers, new or from our "containers lending library." Do not take home one-time-use plastic packaging when you shop at Blue Market AK. 

transparent

 We are transparent about the plastics that we cannot avoid using, and we show how we refuse/reduce/ reuse/recycle them.  We vet and label all of our products, and rate them based on their materials and their carbon footprint.

ConNECTed

Our store is more than just a shopping experience - it is  inviting and creative, a conscious community of local vendors, shoppers and concerned citizens who want to change their habits to ensure a healthy planet.
