Over the years of traveling and going to music festivals, we started realizing that there is a lot of waste that goes into it. Plastic bottles, shampoo bottles, sunscreen, toothbrush and so much more that eventually end up in dumps. We know plastic can take up to 1000 years to decompose and it is harming the environment left, right and center.

That’s when we decided we need to do better. We need to try to reduce or eliminate our waste through travels and other aspects of our life. So we began searching for eco-friendly products or packs that we could invest in. Sadly there aren’t many options in Bangkok, but after a bit of extra research on Pinterest, we found that there are plenty of eco-friendly products and packs being sold on Etsy.

Anyways, we saved you some of the trouble of doing your own search by providing a list of our favorite eco-friendly packs for travel and festivals.

Festival Hygiene Pack by Go Full Circle

Hygiene is really important whether you are traveling, going to a festival or for whatever daily thing you are doing. But to be hygienic we don’t have to pollute the environment. This pack by full circle helps you do just that.

Also, we love the branding of the entire pack. It really gives us that healthy, planet-saving, peaceful vibe.

Yes! You read that right, guys. We are also working on sourcing products for our own travel/festival pack that is friendly to the environment. We are basically putting together a bunch of products that either use recycled/reusable plastic or no plastic at all. It will include things like bamboo cutlery, reusable water bottle, homemade shampoo/soap bar and more.
