The world's first biodegradable festival tent
Built from the same materials as our biodegradable umbrella — scaled up for festivals, events, and outdoor experiences. Zero plastic. Zero permanent waste.
ThehiddenESGgapatfestivalsandevents
Every festival season, tens of thousands of tents are abandoned across European festival fields. Made from plastic, nylon and fibreglass, they are almost impossible to recycle and persist in landfill for centuries. They quietly undermine the sustainability efforts of festivals, sponsors and event organisers.

Vision
Our journey began with a simple question: could we build an everyday product from materials that disappear when discarded? The answer was the world's first biodegradable umbrella. Today, the same kraft paper and PHA technology scales up to festival tents - and tomorrow to parasols and full event pavilions.
Same materials. Same promise. Bigger impact.
Start with a pilot project
- 2 pilot agreements signed for the 2027 festival season — currently in active development with our partners.
- Active collaboration with one of Scandinavia's largest festivals.
