The water-resistant bag, which comes in red and white, also doubles up as an Emergency Ready Bag.
It can be used as both a sling back and a backpack.
Among the items, one might notice that the bamboo straws and water-resistant bag are reusable.
The 750ml bottle is a departure from the two smaller plastic bottles given out last year.
According to CNA, organisers referred to Minister for Defence Ng Eng Hen's speech in 2018 when asked about single-use plastics in the funpack.
Ng had said that funpack items should be reusable "when available and cost-effective".
He added that it would "not be feasible to have only reusable items with minimal packaging".
