Keen to move towards a more sustainable lifestyle and reduce your personal environmental impact? We hear you! But where to begin, that’s the thing….

To make it a bit easier we’ve created an array of green starter kits, so you can make an eco-conscious lifestyle come true.

And if you wonder why some products are greener than others, we totally understand. So, we’ve created this easy-read article that describes why some materials are more eco-conscious than others.

Eco-conscious travel kit

We’ve carefully chosen eco-conscious must-haves for your next holiday or weekend away. Check out our pack list and feel good when you close your suitcase.

The travel kit contains:

- Bamboo toothbrush holder
- Bamboo pocket mirror with cotton string
- Bamboo hairbrush
- 3-digit combination padlocks in metal
- Reusable cotton pads
- Unbleached paper tissues

Pro-travel tip: When you pack, you may want to consider smaller items made of light-weight materials (e.g. the bamboo hairbrush above). This will lower the overall weight of your luggage, making room for other stuff, or simply to make your suitcase easier to carry.

- Reusable chopsticks
- Press pot made from stainless steel
- Wooden washing-up brush and a replacement head
