TenCate Outdoor Fabrics is getting closer and closer to a solution to make tent fabrics from environment-friendly materials. Half of this widely available hemp tent fabric is made of organic materials – a combination of hemp (20%) and organic cotton (30%). The other half is made from recycled polyester. The combination of these three sustainable fibers guarantees a long lifespan.
