London - Anyone heading to this summer's music festivals with a bad conscience about the litter that is left behind can now opt for the recyclable cardboard and plastic tent. The two-person myhab tent comes with a price tag of 240 pounds (480 dollars), but will also be for hire at this summer's main festivals in Britain.
The cardboard and plastic structure, a brainchild of 24-year-old design student James Dunlop, has caught the attention of investment firm Dragons' Den-style and will be for sale at www.myhab.com in time for the festival season.
Dunlop said he gotd the idea to design the loo roll-like structure after hearing that 10,000 canvass and plastic tents are ditched by fans at the Glastonbury rock music festival every year.
Dunlop says the myhab has passed tests for fire and rain with flying colours. It is leak-proof and has foam bedding for added comfort.
Revellers opting for hire will find their myhab all set up on arrival, and when it's all over, the frames will be packed away and the cardboard recycled.
Reports said Dunlop is so confident about his product that he wants to test it on Mount Everest.
