LONDON, England (June 8, 2022): Tentsile, an award-winning brand known for being first to market with their portable Tree Tents, introduces the Ocean UNA and Ocean Hammock, both developed from reclaimed ocean plastic. These innovative and eco-friendly designs feature a smaller environmental footprint, while still rich in features for the best camping experience in the trees. Both tents will be introduced on World Oceans Day, and for every Tentsile Ocean product purchased, the Brand will pledge to remove an additional 2lbs of plastic from the ocean.

“I started Tentsile based on my education and background in sustainable living and low impact shelters,” commented Alex Shirley-Smith, CEO and Founder of Tentsile. “With this in mind, we are always looking for ways to innovate with a lesser environmental footprint. In our focus with the Ocean UNA tent and Ocean Hammock, we have created light, minimalist products which come packaged with zero single use plastic. Our goal is to develop products in a mindful way that inspires families to explore in the trees – be it in the backcountry or in the backyard.”
The one-person Tentsile Ocean UNA is the world’s first tree tent made from recycled plastic reclaimed from the ocean. Unique to Tentsile, the tree tent uses a three-point anchor system to suspend the tent off the ground creating a flat-lay sleeping system, which provides ultimate comfort for front, back or side sleepers. The fabric of the Ocean UNA is made from reclaimed ocean plastic and uses the equivalent of 127 plastic bottles to produce the fabric. The Ocean UNA comes in one color – white, because it is made from undyed fabric which uses 70 percent less water in the production process and zero chemical dyes. This lightweight solo tree tent weighs in at only 5.1lbs making it ideal for day hikes and shorter backpacking trips. MSRP: $349.00.
The Tentsile Ocean Hammock has been designed to be a low impact product on the environment. Made from 31 plastic bottles reclaimed from the ocean, this undyed hammock uses 70 percent less water in the production process and zero chemical dyes, making it even more environmentally friendly. The Ocean Hammock comes with a built-in stuff sack which doubles up as a storage pocket, plus a smaller pocket perfect for keeping your smaller items safe. Weighing in at only 1.3lbs, this lightweight hammock is the perfect companion for a day at the beach, the park, or a day hike. MSRP: $89.99.
