Tips & tricks for a plastic-free camping trip!

Just get in, start driving and, depending on your mood, stop at cliffs, take a break in the woods

or get the best spot close to the beach. Camping is

simply great! It combines boundless freedom with the feel-good factor of

a home.

However, camping can also become a burden on the environment. For example, plastic

is now a major threat to our oceans, rivers and forests.

Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take when camping

to reduce the amount of plastic you use. Here you'll get some

Tips to make sure your vacation leaves you with lots of great memories, but no

Plastic waste.

The best way to address the problem of plastic waste is to avoid the use of

plastic products wherever possible. Many disposable products such as plastic bags, drinking straws, disposable tableware and disposable cutlery can easily be replaced with more

environmentally friendly alternatives such as glass straws, canvas bags,

reusable dishes and cutlery.

Instead of buying water in plastic bottles, you can take a reusable water bottle with you and fill it up at public water fountains. You can also make sure to avoid

products without plastic packaging and prepare your own food.

When it comes to cleanliness while travelling, you should also avoid disposable plastic on the road. We provide you with some reusable camping accessories like cutlery & crockery on your trip. And the topic of dishwashing & camper cleaning is important as well. To make sure you need particularly littoe to no plastic at all, there are cleaning products from everdrop. They are designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible, by completely avoiding single-use plastic and using vegan, naturally based ingredients.

Plus, with their tab and powder solutions, they produce less CO2 during

transport, and you can refill them an infinite number of times - super convenient!

We'll give you a bottle of everdrop dishwashing detergent to test on your trip.

Especially when you are on the road for a long time and cover long distances, you should only pack what you really really need. The heavier your camper, the more fuel it will consume which of course is a greater burden on the environment.

This also applies to the water and waste water tank of your camper. It costs you unnecessary fuel and CO2 to carry the extra weight of your wastewater around for hundreds of kilometres. It is best to empty the tank regularly at official waste water points. The wastewater is collected and cleaned here before it is returned to the environment.

The dissolvable powders from everdrop are a perfect match for this project. For example, you can use the everdrop dishwashing detergent in small, lightweight bags and dissolve it into dishwashing detergent with tap water in the refillable bottle as needed while on the go.

Shampoo, Duschgel, Zahnpasta - auch was die persönliche Hygiene angeht gibt es mittlerweile viele plastik- und mikroplastikfreie Alternativen. Bei deiner Reise mit Off bist du ausgestattet mit Zahnputztabs und einer Mundspülung von Paperdent. Die Mundspülung mit 6-fachem Schutz und mildem Geschmack schützt deine Zähne vor Bakterien, Karies und Zahnstein und sorgt für langanhaltenden frischen Atem. Sie beinhaltet weder Alkohol noch tierische Inhaltsstoffe. Die Verpackung der Mundspülung lässt sich Recyclen und enthält ganze 83% weniger Plastik als herkömmliche Mundspülflaschen, der Rest des Kartons besteht aus Holz aus FSC-zertifizierten Wäldern.

Die Zahnputztabletten mit natürlichem Minz-Aroma kommen ohne Konservierungsstoffe, tierische Inhaltsstoffe und Mikroplastik aus. Deine Beißerchen werden effektiv gereinigt und der hohe Anteil an pflanzlicher Zellulose sorgt für eine zusätzliche Polierung. Sie wurden mit Zahnmediziner:innen entwickelt und schützen dank des Fluorideffekts außerdem nachhaltig vor Karies. Auch bei den Tabletten wurde bei der Verpackung auf Umweltfreundlichkeit geachtet - die biobasierte Verpackung der Zahnputztabletten ist industriell kompostierbar. Außerdem reichen die Tabletten für zwei Monate, somit ersetzt eine Packung ungefähr zwei Zahnpastatuben aus Plastik und spart dadurch Verpackungsmüll.

Especially when you are camping, it is particularly important that the products you use are biodegradable. This is especially true for shampoos, dishwashing liquids and shower gels. Showering outside is generally never good. If there is no other way and you have to shower outdoors, for example, then your shower gel or shampoo should be biodegradable in any case, so as not to pollute the environment unnecessarily.

With the best body care products from everdrop, you can also shower outdoors if the occasion arises. The surfactants in the solid products are based on plant raw materials and completely without microplastics.

Recycling is a great way to reduce plastic waste. When we recycle plastic, we can reuse it, reducing the need for new plastic.

This also reduces the energy needed to produce new plastic. Also, be sure to collect your trash on the go and put it away at

official trash drop-off locations. You should also avoid disposing of trash such as organic waste in the forest. A banana peel takes up to 5 years to decompose completely.

In the near future, the everdrop products will also travel in the Off campers an will be used for cleaning at all Off locations. So that the campers are clean, but the environment also stays that way.

All in all, it is important that we are aware that every individual can make a contribution to reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste. With these simple tips you can reduce the use of plastic products when camping. This will not only be good for the environment, but also contributes to a good conscience.
