This post features gifted items – The Paper Bag Co
With all the big festival tickets being released this week, there’s much excitement about headliners, which festival to attend and how to get your hands on the hottest tickets. But unfortunately, the dark side of festival culture is the environmental impact these events can have. With hundreds and thousands of attendees every year, comes hundreds and thousands of kilos of waste, from abandoned tents and camping equipment to packaging, clothing and pretty much everything imaginable!
So when the Paper Bag Co got in touch about their ‘Leave No Trace’ festival bag I was really excited to see what it was all about.
Festival the Eco-Friendly Way
We know that any sort of outdoor activity can come with a certain amount of waste and impact on the environment. We can’t be expected to save the planet by ourselves, but if everyone makes a small change, whether that’s recycling, choosing biodegradable packaging, washing our clothes on a lower temperature or, in this case, choosing some eco-friendly travel accessories for your next trip.
What does the Festival Paper Bag include?
Each bag is derived from paper and includes the following…
- Printed T-shirt: Stay funky in our 100% GOTS organic cotton t-shirt printed with water based inks.
- Foldable Wheat Cup: Keep hydrated with the portable and biodegradable cup, it is perfect for sipping your favourite tipple from. Just rinse and reuse!
- Pocket for Valuables: A reusable bag isn’t complete without a safe place to store your phone and other valuables.
- Wash Bag: Filled with everything you could need to keep your hygiene tip top whilst you are away, the leave no trace wash bag contains everything from bamboo face wipes, body wash and beeswax ear plugs, to toothpaste tablets and a bamboo toothbrush.
- Cornstarch Poncho: As you can never guarantee the weather, these compostable ponchos made from cornstarch will keep you dry whilst also preventing the use of plastic alternatives.
- Biodegradable Glitter: Use our glitter made from plants to give your trip that extra sparkle.
- Loo roll: Well because… you can never have too much.
