A Guide to Zero-Waste travel essentials

A Guide to Zero-Waste travel essentials

I recently did a post on my Instagram page (@aconscioustraveller) where I showed what I take when I’m travelling in order to reduce waste. Although it might seem like I pack a lot, this is actually less than what I used to take since I now use things that have a double purpose eg my tablet. These items really help me to reduce my waste 

I take (brands in brackets):

• my FjallRaven Kanken rucksack - I have the re-kanken which is made from 11 recycled plastic bottles
• a bandana/handkerchief/something to wrap my food in
• a lip balm (My Valley Mist smile)
• iPad on which I download books, films, and TV shows
• Phone
• headphones (Marshall Major 2)
• wallet (Byron and Brown)
• reusable cutlery (ToGoWare)
• water bottle (MyBkr)
• travel thermos (Lifeventure)

That’s it. These items take up very little space and mean I can reduce my waste whilst still enjoying my travels. 

I hope that helps and happy travels!
