The Fling Tent is the most eco friendly tent ever made. It’s designed for use during mass events like music festivals.
We invested loads of dedication in order to make this tent. It will launch for the festival season in 2017.
You could be the first in the world with a biodegradable camping tent. You could be the one making this dream true.
Biodegradable tents are the best option for cheap festival tents. Just follow us on our FB page or Twitter page.
A great choice for branded eco tents for your festival or company
A cool eco alternative for other cheap tents.
Joint jus now!
Most tents are made from environmental harmful fabrics.
As an average half of tents on music festivals will only be used one singe season.
Up to 35% of all tents pitched are left behind on the camp site from music festivals.
No, don’t worry.
The tent fabric will biodegrade under the influence of micro organisms.
Those are very active on a compost tray – but a lot less on the camp site.
It would however not be very wise to leave your tent out for extended periods. It’s meant to disappear at some stage!
Yes, it is.
The fabrics we use are more expensive than most other budget tent. But we have brought back the tent to maximum simplicity leaving just the functionality you need.
You’re not paying for zippers, little storage bags, meters of guy lines and more whistles and bells.
We are very soon starting a Kickstarter. You can be the very first in the world with a light biodegradable tent.
Yes, the fabric is. However – the poles and pegs are not yet compostable. We are researching this matter and hope to offer the most eco friendly solution soon.
The fabric from the tent is made of fabrics from the PEVA group (Poly Ethylene Vinyl Acetate). No know harmful additives are used in this fabric.
We are using a PLA mixture that is certified compostable.
It feels like plastic. The fabric can be compared with some kinds of shower curtains.
The poles are made from recycled PVC – the pegs are aluminum. We can provide biodegradable pegs too. But those are quite expensive.
In fact – we expect the poles to live longer than the rest of the tent. They are quite rigid. One the tent is “composted” you might use your poles for a second tent. Or a third…
The tent weights less than 2kg and is packed really small. That makes it easier to travel to the festival campsite.
By just sliding the two poles in and pounding 4 pegs into the ground the tent is ready for you for the first night.
This is an easy way for responsible behavior. As this is the most eco-friendly tent ever made – comparing to 99,9% of other harmful tents – you’re part of a game changing program.
Jakob De Proft is passionated on finding sustainable solution for camping sites on mass events. He spend several years at finding the best possible way to produce reliable biodegradable camping tents. And it will not stop there as everything can be better. He is now partnering with different actors in order to close the circle into a close-to-cradle-to-cradle system making used tents into new products.
Jakob is also coaching and supporting people and organisations into becoming more sustainable.
Having camped a lot he now works together with different tent factories in Europe.
