Outdoor gear should help people enjoy nature without adding unnecessary waste.
At OLPRO, the outdoors is not just where our products are used. It is what inspires them. As a camping brand, we have a responsibility to protect the spaces our customers enjoy.
Our sustainability work focuses on practical changes across the product lifecycle: choosing recycled and recyclable materials, extending product life through repair and resale, reducing virgin polyester use, planting trees, and working with partners who can help keep useful materials in circulation.
How we reduce impact
Longer product life, lower material waste and clearer customer support.
Better materials
OLTECH REPRO turns recycled bottles into tent and awning fabric.
OLTECH REPRO is one of the clearest ways OLPRO is changing the range. It utilises plastic waste, helping to remove single-use plastic bottles from waterways while reducing reliance on virgin polyester.
8 bottles
Repurposed for every square metre of OLTECH REPRO used.
The material is still built for real camping use, with 5000mm Hydrostatic Head waterproofing and UV protection. The goal is not just to make one sustainable product. It is to move more of the everyday range towards lower-impact materials over time.

Our three principles
Reduce, repurpose and resell.
Reduce
Reduce virgin materials, unnecessary waste and avoidable returns by improving materials, product guidance and product lifespan.
Repurpose
Keep useful materials in circulation through repair, spare parts, canvas reuse and circular partnerships.
Resell
Give returned, used and pre-loved products another trip instead of sending usable gear to waste.
Collaborations and community
Sustainability works better when it is shared.
OLPRO works with partners and communities to reduce waste and support better outdoor business practices. That includes donating surplus canvas that cannot be sold through the Pre-Loved programme to Retribe, a Sheffield-based circular economy partner that strips materials down, salvages usable components and remakes them into new outdoor-suitable products.
Through Ecologi, OLPRO plants trees in areas that need them most and supports verified carbon avoidance projects. Customers can trace the projects OLPRO has supported through the Ecologi profile.
OLPRO also supports education and skills projects, works with tent rental partners to encourage reuse at festivals and events, and takes part in groups such as the 3 Counties B Corp Group, the Outdoor Industries Association and the Chamber of Commerce.
