If you love attending festivals but are also eco-conscious, this single use festival tent provides you with shelter you can compost after using. Based out of the Netherlands, psssh! created One Nights Tent so you don't have to worry where your overnight shelter is sourced from.
Debuting at Lowlands Festival earlier this summer, the compostable tent was available for ticket holders to purchase online. Rather than having the festival tent delivered to their houses, event attendees could pick it up at a designated booth on site. At the end of the festival, people could hand back in their tents. Otherwise, biodegradable shelter would break down on its own. Designed specifically for short-term usage, the tent does not have any superfluous features like zippers.
