Same materials. Same promise. Bigger impact.
The Greenstart Umbrella is the technology origin of everything we build. Made from kraft paper and plant-based PHA bioplastic, it's the world's first fully biodegradable umbrella — and the proof of concept behind our festival tents.
Available for branded corporate events and ESG campaigns. Contact us to discuss volumes and branding options.

Built for festivals. Designed to disappear. Our tents are made from kraft paper and plant-based PHA bioplastic — the same material as our umbrella, scaled up for the demands of multi-day outdoor events. Fully waterproof. Fully biodegradable.

Vision
We work with two natural materials that already exist in abundance and return safely to nature — no fossil fuels, no microplastics, no permanent waste.
The structural backbone of our products. Made from renewable wood pulp, kraft paper is surprisingly strong, lightweight, and biodegrades within months under composting conditions. We source from sustainably managed forests.
What makes our products waterproof. Unlike conventional plastic made from oil, PHA is produced by bacteria and breaks down completely in soil and water — leaving no toxic residue behind.
Most products are designed to last. Ours are designed to leave no trace. After use, they biodegrade in months under composting conditions, not centuries.
