A travel experience that loves nature requires a waste-free approach. Eco-conscious travel is to minimize your footprint in the place you go, so that the environment around you will not be affected by your presence. Avoiding the use of plastics and toxic disposables is essential, and light packaging can actually reduce fuel use and related emissions. Reducing food waste and choosing ecologically sensitive accommodation can also help. Therefore, if you are planning a conscious zero-waste vacation, please consider putting these items in your bag:

If you need to travel for shopping, buying second-hand fashion or second-hand goods is a good way to reduce your overall carbon footprint.

The capsule wardrobe can also help you become a more conscious traveler. This is a limited choice of basic clothing that can be easily matched with each other, such as classic tailoring or neutral layers. Therefore, whether you travel by train, plane or car, you can reduce packaging and reduce your overall emissions footprint. Here are some tags you can use:

Kolkata people are steadily warming up to second-hand clothing. Poshmark is a beloved second-hand fashion platform, launched in India this year, it is a social and sustainable market. Several Indian fashion influencers have put their personal collections up for sale, and buyers can interact with sellers or offer purchase discounts on their own.

"As an Indian who grew up exploring the Old Delhi market, I know directly how important it is to get together and make connections as part of the shopping experience. Poshmark founder Manish Chandra said: "As people turn more and more E-commerce, while seeking a more social connection and sustainable experience, the market opportunity is huge and growing. "

If you want to travel lightly, try using a hand loom. The Lasya collection of Kolkata brand Arte-Alter features hand-woven Kadi and Tussar ethnic selections, using modern jamdani technology. Their imperial line tunic and drop-shoulder tunic tunic are easy to match with moody coats.

If you want to pack for a beach holiday, please explore Beachbum's capsule editing of simple single-color numbers, which are very easy to recycle and redesign. The After Eight series has bow tie shirts, asymmetric houses, flared jumpsuits, dresses, harem pants, and even some beach accessories, all in black and white.

When you have to bring elegant clothing, it can be difficult to pack light. Think of the weird "gamcha" number from 145 East. If the style is right, it can fit into almost any fashion memo. The brand's Ghera Skirt collection has versatile skirts that can be matched with anything, from bikinis and shirts to denim and leather jackets. The smartest winter purchases are "gamcha" boyfriend shirts, "kotki" hoodies and double-sided wrap tops.

Reducing packaging waste is the key to packaging eco-friendly beauty bags for travel. Therefore, try to choose biodegradable cosmetic packaging or refillable bottles. Disposable items can make your luggage lighter, so if you are buying travel-sized products, make sure that the packaging is environmentally friendly. Here are some excellent brands you can consider:

Karen Behnke's clean and beauty brand Juice Beauty just entered the country this year. The label does not use any parabens, petroleum, pesticides, silicones or any other artificial dyes, and only uses vegetable juice base and vitamin-rich ingredients.

"We are proud of our special'farm to beauty' program, which not only aims to enhance powerful antioxidants, but also limits pesticide and synthetic fertilizer residues in beauty products. In the past ten years, we have successfully estimated Avoid using 3 tons of pesticides," Behnke shared. All packaging of Juice Beauty products is made of recyclable glass and FSC paper from sustainably harvested forests.

Shripriya Khaitan Dhelia and Upasana Todi Prakash's Kolkata startup Fabpad is creating leak-proof menstrual pants and other environmentally friendly menstrual alternatives. Their menstrual underwear is reusable and is an environmentally friendly alternative to sanitary napkins that do not normally decompose.

Aerosol deodorants contain gas propellants that can cause air pollution and climate change, so natural deodorants are ideal for travel. Forest Essentials only uses natural ingredients and environmentally friendly packaging made from recyclable PET, glass, and biodegradable cartons made of FSC certified paper. Their sweet orange and cardamom deodorants have citrus, sweet and spicy flavors that will not disrupt the natural process of perspiration.

The shampoo stick is a small travel trick that can save your unpredictable holiday hair. One stick can be used for multiple washes, and they are easy to transport because they will not overflow like shampoo. Earth Rhythm's murumuru shampoo stick is particularly suitable for travel because it provides effective frizz control and the stick comes in a reusable tin box.

If you want to pack for a work trip, explore the versatile technology suitcases, which can also double as carry-on bags. Another great tip is to buy a pouch or holder for all chargers and adapters, or buy a simple, zero-waste starter kit for stationery.

Brown Living’s plastic-free 30-liter duffel bag is made of waterproof canvas, with shoe compartments, front pockets and side pockets. It can also accommodate additional brackets and hooks for sleeping bags or cushions. If you just want to carry a bag, so be it.

Take some wheat straw utensils with you and avoid using plastic. They are made from agricultural waste and require less water to clean. It is completely biodegradable and microwave safe, and this kit from The June Shop is also very compact.

The sustainable label Bare Necessities offers a variety of zero-waste starter kits, perfect for travelers. There are also upgraded recycled cutlery bags and kitchen kits that can be used for the homestay experience.
