Reducing Single Use Plastic
Responsible Travel
We recognise the environmental issues and challenges around single-use plastic in many countries we visit and are actively working with our partners on the ground to reduce plastic waste on our tours.
You can help to reduce your personal plastic waste, while always ensuring you have safe drinking water, by taking a refillable, filtered water bottle with you on your trip. Filtered water bottles can be refilled from water sources including your hotel room and restaurant taps, drinking fountains and refill stations.
By choosing to refill rather than purchase bottled water, you can help reduce single-use plastic waste during your journey and support our efforts to minimise unnecessary plastic use on our trips.
Partnering with Water-to-Go
Water-to-Go is a filtration system that eliminates 99.9% of microbiological contaminants from any non-salt water source in the world and provide clean, safe water. You can read more about the technology on their website, but it's safe to say that with one of these handy bottles you can help reduce single use plastic, while keeping hydrated no matter where you are in the world.
We road-tested a number of different brands of filtered water bottles. All did a good job, but for us the Water-to-Go bottle came out on top, giving us the confidence to put our name to it and launch our own Wild Frontiers branded bottles.
I am proud to say that I rose to the challenge and did not use a single plastic bottle during my whole trip to Pakistan – relying only on filling my Water-to-Go filter bottle with whatever water was available
