Eco-Friendly Vacations & Single-Use Plastic Waste With summer just around the corner, we bet you must have some backpacking trips in your mind. And, whether it is camping, experiencing van life, or a plan to trek some undiscovered hills, reducing plastic waste is perhaps where you can start. That said, sites like trekking and camping sites lead to a lot of plastic waste. And, while single-use plastic products like straws, plates, etc can be pretty convenient, they can be really bad for the planeti. For starters, these plastic products are made from non-renewable resources like petroleum, which requires a lot of energy and resources to be extracted and made. Moreover, these single-use plastic products are known to stick around forever. Once you dump these products, they tend to sit in our ecosystem for decades and even centuries. These plastic pieces are either ingested by animals or release toxins into our ecosystem. In short, your vacations should not lead to plastic waste. This is why switching to products like compostable resealable bags and plates can be a great, eco-friendly choice. 7 Compostable Essentials To Carry Now that you know how compostable products can make your vacation zero-waste and convenient, here are some of the best daily compostable essentials that can come quite in handy for your next vacation.
