Festival season is one of the highlights of the British summer, but it comes with a well-documented environmental cost. Single-use plastics, discarded tents, and mountains of waste have put sustainability firmly on the festival agenda.
The good news is that enjoying a festival responsibly doesn't mean compromising on the experience. At Paper Bag Co, we've created the Leave No Trace Festival Bag: a pre-packed, eco-friendly kit containing everything you need for festival season, all made from natural and biodegradable materials.
What the Leave No Trace Festival Bag Contains
The bag itself is waterproof, paper-based and designed to be reused, and what's inside follows the same ethos. You get a 100% GOTS organic cotton t-shirt printed with water-based inks, a foldable and biodegradable wheat cup, a secure pocket for valuables, and a wash bag stocked with bamboo face wipes, toothpaste tablets, a bamboo toothbrush, body wash and beeswax ear plugs. There's also a compostable cornstarch poncho for when the British weather does what it always does, biodegradable plant-based glitter, and loo roll, because you can never have too much.
Why It Matters
Festivals generate enormous amounts of waste, much of it avoidable. Choosing biodegradable and reusable alternatives to single-use items is one of the most straightforward ways festivalgoers can reduce their impact. Every item in our Leave No Trace Festival Bag has been chosen with that in mind, replacing the plastic-heavy alternatives that typically end up in landfill or left behind in a field.
