Even for its intended purpose, either the tent has a fair bit of mass, a lot of material to discard as a garbage bag --- and one with way more holding capacity that's likely to be used. Or it's one really thin and flimsy tent, one that would be sketchy at best in a hard rain.

And what about the metal (?) hoops that give it structure, do those get tossed too?

Now, if the plastic were of a type designed to decompose nicely in a reasonable amount of time, and yet hold up well in rain ... not likely I guess.

Interesting anyway, thanks for sharing!
