Decathlon makes it easy for festival goers to choose life over landfill

That bestie for festival goers and campers Decathlon is running its buyback tent pledge again this year with a refund offer on its full range of tents sold and then returned after use. The life-over-landfill deal runs until September 14 and a Decathlon gift card of the same value as the tent will be provided on proof of purchase regardless how much it has been used. Some 250,000 tents are discarded at outdoor events annually and Decathlon has expanded its pledge spurred by a commitment to circularity and a mission to end tent waste. Chris Allen, sustainability leader Decathlon UK, said: "What started with one tent has grown into a commitment across our entire range, driven by the public's desire to make more responsible choices.” www.decathlon.co.uk, then search: no tent left behind
