It is summer festival season and you might be thinking about that essential piece of kit: a decent tent.  Tents are usually constructed from synthetic fabrics, but how sustainable are they?  Does an eco tent even exist?

Recycled Eco Tent

To be comfortable, tents need to have certain components, for example, water and windproofing.  The fabrics used to make tents are usually not from sustainable sources.  However, some forward thinking companies have started making eco tents from recycled plastic, reducing their carbon footprint.  Ultimately, investing in something which stands the test of time and can be used for years is probably the most sustainable option, but what if it can be this plus made from only recycled plastic bottles?  = Happy Green Camping Vibes.
