Plastic Fantastic

Each year thousands of tents are abandoned at festivals and end up in landfill but accommodation at these events could be about to go green.

Moulder JSC Rotational based in Worcestershire, the UK, has made a luxury ‘tent’ from a recycled compound developed by compounding and recycling firm Luxus.

Myhub is made from recycled plastics and waterproof cardboard and features a foam double bed while the base and end frames are moulded in 100% recycled MDPE.

If the idea catches on Luxus in Lincolnshire, the UK, hopes to introduce a “closed loop system” where the used myhub plastic parts are reclaimed and reused to produce more myhabs.
