In a victory ofgreen business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receivefinancial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and crowds have gone home. Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year.

To rai money for the idea, he toured the City's private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint's directors and won their support.Mint has committed around £500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlop's business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.
