Zero Waste Travel Essentials for Every Kind of Trip

Travel is a time to explore, unwind and recharge. Your next travel plan doesn't have to come with a trail of single use plastic and waste behind you. Whether you’re packing for a quick weekend escape, a work trip or a family vacation, a zero waste travel kit helps you stay sustainable wherever you go. 

  1. For Weekend Getaways: 

  • Pack of 4 Spa Bars: Compact, mess-free, and plastic-free. A single bar does the job of soap, body wash, and even a mild face cleanser.

  • Lip Balm - 10gms: Choose from Busy Bee or Hemp-ily Ever After — perfect for on-the-go hydration.

  • Round the Clock Solid Deodorant: No leaks, lasts all day, and fits in your pocket.

  • Reusable Tote & Cutlery Kit: For impromptu picnics or street food stops.

  • Stainless Steel Bottle: Stay hydrated without buying plastic bottles on the go.

Skip: Travel-size toiletries in plastic tubes — they run out fast and pile up in landfills.

  1. For Business Trips 

  • Soak It Up Moisturiser (Mini): Lightweight, fast-absorbing hydration that fits neatly into your work bag.

  • Cacao Butter Lip Balm: Keeps lips moisturised during long flights or dry air-conditioned meetings.

  • Rock N’Roll Deodorant: Subtle, plastic-free fragrance that keeps you feeling fresh and confident.

  • Reusable Coffee Cup: For all your airport caffeine cravings.

  • Digital Notes or Recycled Paper Journal: Jot ideas, to-dos, or reflections without the waste.

Skip: Hotel toiletries (bring your own zero-waste alternatives and save them from ending up in the bin unused)

  1. For Family Vacations 

  • Nature’s Pack of Spa Bars: One for every skin type in the family—mild, effective, and easy to carry.

  • Eco-Friendly Sunscreen & Bug Spray (if available): Choose reef-safe, non-aerosol options in recyclable or compostable packaging.

  • Reusable Containers & Snacks: Avoid plastic wrappers at pit stops.

  • Bamboo Toothbrushes & Tooth Powders: Easy swap for the whole family.

  • Mini Waste Segregation Kit: One pouch for recyclables, one for compostables—especially handy when you’re out exploring.

Skip: Disposable wipes, travel packs of tissues, or packaged snacks with multiple layers of plastic.

Why Should You Travel Zero Waste? 

Sustainable travel isn’t just about avoiding plastic, it’s about packing mindfully, consuming consciously and leaving behind only happy memories and not wrappers. Every swap means a lighter load on the planet.
