Upcycling Program

Repairs, Recycling & Upcycling

At Tentsile, we are proud to make quality products that last!

But all good things someday come to an end and we have planned for this; to avoid any of our units ending up in landfill.

When any tree tent or camping hammock is returned to us, we inspect to see if it's possible to repair and re-sell under our Pre-Loved scheme.

If it can't be repaired, the tent or hammock is disassembled and the materials are re-purposed into our range of upcycled accessories.

To do this we have established an Upcycling Program, where we work with University Product Design Departments and send them our retiring units so that their students can use the materials to make new and exciting products of their own, by upcycling our old material.

We encourage our customers to send their retiring units to our partner universities and save them from entering the landfill system.

When you do, we will issue you a 20% discount code to apply to your next Tree Tent or Giant Hammock purchase! All you have to do is email a photo of your shipping receipt and we will issue you a 20% discount voucher.

You can keep all the straps and ratchets (hardware), as the student will not use these. The address to send the old unit to is:

Paper & Cardboard

We minimise how much we print by creating digital copies of our marketing collateral which we encourage people to use and all our marketing materials are printed on FSC certified paper. This means that an additional four trees are planted for every one tree that has been harvested.

We use unlaminated, brown cardboard boxes to package our products in, making them 100% recyclable.
