Travel Bottles

These days, self-service and self-fill shops that eliminate the use of packaging can already be found in some places. This is a good place to buy your toiletries such as shampoo and conditioners, as well as pantry stocks such as pasta and sauces, where you need to bring your own containers to fill. If you are interested in making such efforts, it might also be a good idea to invest in a reusable bottle for toiletries that you can fill from these stores each time you need to travel. These travel bottles come in different shapes and sizes, with most being leakproof, versatile, and compact.

Bamboo or Metal Straws

Plastic straws which are thrown away after a single use is one of the biggest contributors to plastic waste all over the world. Some even end up in the ocean, leaving a negative effect on marine life. Hence, if you cannot live without a straw, make it a habit to bring your own reusable one which can be made of bamboo or metal.

Bamboo or Metal Utensils

Apart from bringing your own reusable straws, it is also a great idea to invest in durable and reusable utensils which can likewise be made of bamboo or metal. This will be particularly helpful when you decide to order takeaway food. There are even utensil sets that come with adorable containers.

Plastic-Free Food Containers

Often when you travel, you order food for takeaway. When you do, the establishments put your food in either Styrofoam, plastic, or paper containers that hit the trash after they are used. Thus, it is a great idea to bring with you plastic-free food containers that will help you minimize the trash you produce.

Eco-bag

Plastic bags are truly convenient, but they also don’t do the environment much good. As much as possible, keep a foldable eco-bag in your luggage or backpack so that when you need to shop for fresh produce as you travel, you can say no to single-use plastic. In the same manner, these are great to help you carry your excess stuff as necessary, such as the things you buy from your travel expeditions to bring back home.

It is a good thing that people are now moving towards being more environmentally-conscious. This movement brought about numerous innovative ideas on how the wastes produced by people can be reduced, if not totally eliminated. Indeed, leveraging on reusable items can definitely make a significant impact to support this effort.
