Travelers get to experience world from a very different perspective, as outsiders but still getting immersed in the places they visit. A big effect of this is that more and more travelers are realizing the amount of waste generated by travel and tourism and are trying to find ways to reduce the waste they create when they travel. This is why reusable travel products are the best travel trend of 2018.

- Reusable water bottles: Instead of buying water in throwaway plastic bottles when you travel, you can carry a bottle of your own with an inbuilt filter so you have access to safe, clean drinking water anywhere you go. There are a number of reusable plastic, glass, and metal bottles available.
- Reusable straws and mugs: Straws are some of the biggest pollutants in our oceans and are a big nuisance to wildlife and marine life. If you prefer using straws, look for reusable metal and bamboo straws that are compact and easy to carry with you wherever you go. The same applies to coffee mugs and tea cups.
