Eco-friendly travel accessories: what to take when you travel?

In recent years, eco-friendly commitments have also been made during travel. Finding the right accessories to stick with it isn’t difficult! You just need to select carefully and find models that combine quality and price.

Eco-friendly equipment to eat

The list of accessories you need starts with tools for processing or preserving supplies. Among the essentials, count the small gadgets you need to drink or eat without generating waste.

The filter bottle : it allows you to purify and consume tap water. It offers a practical, economical and eco-friendly alternative to the single-use bottle. The investment is quickly amortized: its price will only represent a tiny part of what you spend on plastic bottles. There filter bottle offers a treatment solution that is both fast and accessible. It prevents you from consuming non-potable water, or water loaded with harmful elements.

What to take in your toiletry bag?

Eco-friendly accessories can also be found in your toiletry bag. All classic toiletries can be swapped out for healthier alternatives.

The bamboo toothbrush : less harmful than plastic, bamboo is easily recyclable. A toothbrush made from this material is not only durable. It is also antibacterial, healthy and respectful of your oral cavity. The ecological toothbrush also offers softer bristles, therefore less aggressive.
Solid cleaning products : everything you use to wash or take care of yourself can be found in a solid version. Opt for products with natural compositions, made by French artisans. In addition to solid shampoo, you will also find solid soap such as Aleppo soap, solid deodorant, and solid toothpaste. Also carry a small jar of coconut oil and baking soda in a recyclable container
For women, two menstrual cups will also be essential. They take up less space than a pack of tampons, and will generate less waste. The cups are also less harmful to health, and are very easy to maintain.

Accessories to make your life easier

Apart from care and hygiene products, you will also need a few things to make your life easier. Complete your travel bag with smart accessories, which will be useful throughout your trip.

The solar charger : it accumulates solar energy, and can help with the charging of your devices. The solar charger is essential for outings where you need a virtual map. It will also be used to recharge your e-reader, and can provide a source of light if needed.
Reusable makeup remover wipes : these washable versions allow you to wash your face, without polluting. Choose double-sided wipes which will remove traces of pollution. They will remove sweat, smoke residue, and dirt that accumulate on the face throughout the day.

But eco-friendly travel isn’t just that!

So of course you can therefore reduce your ecological footprint before even leaving, and therefore when packing your luggage, the main thing will be there. In other words, once you travel, you will avoid anything that can leave an ecological footprint, preferring the bike to the car for example, preferring the water bottle to buying a plastic bottle, etc. etc.

Taking the plane to go on a trip is already not very eco-friendly, and it’s a bit paradoxical to advocate ecology when you go like that. But that’s another debate.. And if you still like to travel, I think that this is already a basis to respect, making the right choice of accessories then travel mode and its consumption.

And you, do you have a bit of an eco-friendly spirit when you travel?
