One of the best ways to kick-start your zero waste travel is to forswear the use of printed boarding passes or tickets. Gone are the days when passengers were required to carry a copy of printed boarding passes and travel tickets for successful boarding. Although some of the traveling companies still require the passengers to carry printed boarding tickets, the trend has largely shifted to the contrary- the e-tickets or digital boarding passes.
- You can obtain your tickets online from the website of any travel company.
- Download the tickets in PDF form and you can easily show them before boarding the flight, train or any other means of transport.
- Create your own reusable boarding tags instead of using the non-reusable boarding tags.

Whether you are set on a 2-hour long journey or an 8-hour long plane flight, the need for water is inevitable. For cleaning purposes for drinking purposes, filling of several liquids is required on the go. Carrying an insulating and reusable water bottle is completely in your benefit for several reasons.
- If the tap water is suitable for consumption, you can fill it in your reusable water bottle for drinking as well as cleaning purposes.
- A reusable water bottle with lid or cap eliminates the worry of fluid spillage and restrictions while traveling.
- Instead of getting drinks on-the-go, you can have the beverages filled in your bottle instead of taking the plastic cups.

Zero Waste Travelling across long distances is a challenging task when you are prone to getting hungry on long flights. There is nothing to be embarrassed about getting hungry on a long flight. Zero Waste travel eating comes down to the selection of food as well as your utensils. The flight food is available only in disposable cups and plates which only add up to landfill waste. The best way to counter hunger on the go is to stock snacks in your backpack.
- Taking home-made nutrition bars are a good pick to fill a hungry stomach.
- Dry fruits and other forms of dry snacks (no wrapper) are good to counter eating urges during intermediately long flights.
- Instead of packing snacks in rubber bands or any other plastic packaging, you can use cloth wraps or reusable containers for their efficient storage.

Zero Waste travel experts who have had multiple successful Zero Waste travel encounters have claimed mason jars to be lifesavers on the go. You do not know when you will be required to collect waste or food scraps while you are on-the-go. Carrying reusable mason jars and containers is a perfect way of countering all the waste collection problems during traveling.
- Take lidded mason jars or other small containers in your travel bag.
- Collect food scraps and other compostable material in these jars to be stored until you can find a suitable composting site.
- You can also collect and store other useful traveling material in these jars instead of using plastic packaging.
- Mason jars and reusable containers are your best pals when it comes to impulsive shopping at a farmer’s market or foreign bulk shops.

There is no guarantee of the fact that you will not be unknowingly handed over plastic utensils and packaging during your journey. In order to avoid such situations, carrying your own reusable cutlery and tableware can be of great use. Despite people looking down on your waste-free traveling ways, you can always make greater use of a reusable spork and a face napkin on the go.
- Carrying a spork and other forms of multi-purpose cutlery will help you eradicate the need for non-recyclable cutlery for eating food on the go.
- Face napkins are perfect alternatives for non-reusable tablecloths.
- You can also use these napkins to pack leftover food while you are traveling.

The need for self-care and personal hygiene is constantly important to fulfill despite your destination. You cannot simply let go off all your Zero Waste personal hygiene principles just because you are hesitant about applying them on-the-go. Apart from fulfilling the goal of Zero Waste travel, the Zero Waste self-care on-the-go offers you additional advantages of luggage space and low maintenance. In order to look after your hygiene during traveling, carrying multi-purpose cleaning products is the perfect Zero Waste hygiene solution.
- Purchase a Zero Waste soap bar from a bulk store. This bar can be used as a hand cleaner, a body wash, a shampoo and even a detergent.
- Only use products which do not expel harmful toxins in the environment.
- Use less water during cleaning and bathing.
- You can also take eco-friendly or homemade toothpowder as Zero Waste toothpaste substitutes.
