A Greener Way To Travel: Your Guide To Sustainable Luggage
![]()
If you're trying to travel more sustainably, your luggage is a good place to start. Whether you’re heading off on a weekend escape or planning a longer adventure, choosing the right suitcase can make a difference. At Tripp, we’re proud to offer a growing selection of sustainable luggage that’s as stylish as it is eco-conscious. In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at what makes luggage sustainable, walk you through our eco-friendly suitcase range, and shine a spotlight on our brand new Explore collection.
What Is Sustainable Luggage?
Sustainable luggage is designed to reduce environmental impact without compromising on quality or style. Here's what that really means:
- Uses Recycled Materials: Including fabric made from used plastic bottles or reclaimed hard-shell plastics.
- Built To Last: So you won’t need to replace regularly. Plus, all of our cases come with our 5-year guarantee for added peace of mind.
- Repairable, Not Disposable: If something like a wheel or handle ever needs replacing, there’s no need to throw the whole case away. We offer a range of replacement parts to help extend the life of your suitcase.
Tripp’s Sustainable Suitcase Range
At Tripp, we offer two types of sustainable luggage:
- Soft Shell: These are made from 100% recycled PET (plastic that has been previously used and recycled).
- Hard Shell: Made from 51% GRS-certified post-consumer recycled polypropylene
Both are lightweight, practical and built to keep your belongings safe on every trip.
All our sustainable suitcases are GRS-certified. That stands for the Global Recycled Standard, an independent verification that the materials used are genuinely recycled. It’s one more way we’re helping customers shop responsibly.
Soft Shell: 100% Recycled & Ready To Go
Our soft-shell cases are made from 100% GRS-certified, recycled PET. Which is the same type of plastic found in drink bottles! They’re super lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and give you a little extra flexibility when packing. All cases are available in a wide choice of colours and sizes and are perfect for everything from quick city breaks to family holidays.

If you’re looking for the structure and protection of a hard-shell suitcase with serious eco-credentials, the Explore collection is designed with you in mind. It's our most sustainable hard shell range to date, combining responsible materials with the quality, style and practicality you expect.
The outer shell is made using 51% post-consumer recycled polypropylene, helping to reduce plastic waste without compromising on strength or durability. It’s built to handle the rigours of travel, from airport carousels to weekend train trips, while keeping your belongings protected. Each case features colour-matched handles, wheels and zips, giving it a clean, modern look. The four-wheel design makes for smooth and easy movement, even when fully packed. Inside, you’ll find everything you need for organised packing, including a zippered divider and handy mesh pocket.Why Choose A Sustainable Tripp Suitcase?

Extra Tips For Sustainable Travel
Want to take things further? Here are a few easy ways to travel more sustainably:
- Pack light to help reduce emissions.
- Bring an empty reusable bottle – you can fill it up after security at airport water stations.
- Choose direct routes when you can.
- Reuse or recycle any travel minis or toiletries.
What Happens When You’re Done With It?
Tripp suitcases are designed to last, but if your case does eventually reach the end of its journey, there are options. Some local councils or specialist recycling centres accept hard plastics or textiles, so it's always worth checking what's available in your area. Alternatively, many people repurpose old suitcases for home storage or donate them if they're still in good condition.
