the traditional tent cities at festivals such as glastonbury may never be the same again. in a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.
major festivals such as glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. for his final year project at the university of the west of england, james dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. and to cope with the british summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.
taking inspiration from a japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, mr. dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called myhabs.
