Packing is stressful. Between the worry of forgetting the essentials, the stress of having too much stuff to fit into your too-small-bags and trying to locate the other half of each pair of socks, by the time that you’ve moved back to uni it feels as though you’ve been working for weeks. On top of this stress there’s also the issue of whether what you’ve packed is actually worth the while. With limited space in your already overflowing bags, it’s essential that you pack the right things: useful, eco-friendly and efficient are the words that spring to mind.

Eco-friendly products are those that do not harm the environment in their production, use or disposal. These help to preserve the environment by reducing the amount of pollution that is created in any of these three areas of the product’s life.

So to make life a little bit easier I’ve compiled a list of my 5 favourite eco-friendly products for all students. You can thank me later!
