Campers can take their Leave No Trace efforts to another level this year with a brand new collection of Vango tents manufactured from recycled single-use plastics available from Outdoor World Direct. Read on to see what’s new for 2021.

New Vango 2021 Recycled Plastic Tents From Outdoor World Direct

The family-owned online camping retailer has announced it will be stocking a selection of four and six-man tents from Vango’s Earth range so campers can reduce their footprint while enjoying the outdoors.

As well as being sustainable, the tents boast Vango’s key features and latest technologies to make camping more comfortable and accessible than ever before.

Both the Joro and Aether tents use Vango’s innovative AirBeam technology which allows users to pitch their tent by inflating it using a pump, taking the hassle out of pitching. Even the six-man tents in the collection take just 12 minutes to pitch.

David Scotland, owner of Outdoor World Direct, says:

“Campers have a strong appreciation for the natural world and many are keen to reduce their footprint and shop as environmentally conscious as possible. We have always made sure the brands we stock produce high quality products to discourage the use of ‘disposable’/single-use tents and advise customers on how to maintain and repair tents to improve longevity. Now it is great to see Vango are going one step further in the right direction, by offering an affordable range of tents manufactured using recycled materials that would otherwise end up at landfill. This is a hugely positive step for the outdoor industry and inspires confidence that we can enjoy our planet’s natural beauty sustainably.”

The Vango Earth collection is available to pre-order now via the Outdoor World Direct website, with stock expected in March.
