Festivals are at the heart of British summertime. We’ve all seen the shocking images of the aftermath: abandoned polyester tents. Most people may not know that the tents are very hard to recycle and can lurk in the ground for up to 200 years.
Research reveals that 70% of people who buy tents use them only once, with over half likely to purchase a tent for just one event. This trend results in approximately 250,000 abandoned tents annually, contributing to 900 tonnes of waste.
To combat this, DS Smith and EnviroTent have developed a 100% recyclable cardboard tent. These tents are not only eco-friendly but also durable, providing insulation and light-blocking features. Festival organizers are encouraged to adopt these sustainable options to reduce the environmental impact of festivals.
