Sustainable travel tips: how to reduce plastic use in New Zealand

Road trips and hiking can leave you thirsty—both for adventure and for staying hydrated. It’s important to drink water regularly when you're active, but buying single-use plastic bottles for water or soda isn't the best option.

Plastic makes up about 8% of New Zealand's waste by weight, but because it’s so light, it takes up about 20% of landfill space. Each year, roughly 252,000 tons of plastic end up in our landfills.

Instead of contributing to this waste by buying disposable plastic bottles, a better option is to use a durable and easy-to-carry reusable water bottle. New Zealand offers plenty of places to refill - whether it's at petrol stations, local cafés, or campsites, pure New Zealand tap water is easily accessible.

Forgot to bring your reusable water bottle? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
