Especially in nature, we should be careful to leave as little trace as possible. However, finding environmentally friendly camping and outdoor products can be a real challenge. In this article, we present you five environmentally friendly camping products that will make your adventure more comfortable and create a positive impact.
1. Camping dishes without melamine
It is light, colorful and inexpensive - camping dishes made of melamine can be found in any camping shop. And this despite the fact that it often releases the harmful substances melamine and formaldehyde during use. Temperatures of over 70 ° C or acidic foods are sufficient for this. As an alternative, we recommend camping dishes made of stainless steel or enamel. These materials are durable, tasteless and 100% recyclable. We have now put together a good selection.

2. Travel towel made of natural fibers
Most camping and travel towels are made of plastic. Microfiber, to be precise. These feel uncomfortable, hardly dry and also release microplastics. Cotton travel towels are definitely the better choice. Our travel towel is made of a mix of natural fibers: organic cotton and linen. It is pleasantly soft on the skin, highly absorbent and dries quickly. Thanks to the small pack size, they can be stored compactly - ideal for on the go.

3. Reusable garbage bags for on the go
We already mentioned at the beginning that we have to be careful not to leave anything behind. Especially when camping, hiking or on the beach, you can see again and again that not everyone takes it so seriously. To counteract this, we work with a small sewing company in Germany to produce reusable garbage bags for on the go. This makes it easy and convenient to collect garbage and dispose of it properly. Sealable, easy to clean and, when clean, also suitable as a transport bag for wet swimwear.
4. Sonnenglas solar light
