Sustainability
At Terra Nova Equipment, we’re passionate about the outdoors. We’re equally as passionate about reducing our impact on the environment, therefore, we’re taking the necessary steps to reduce our carbon footprint across our product range and throughout our offices. Becoming as sustainable as possible is really important to us. Read more on our sustainability below.
Protecting the planet we explore
Our adventures depend on wild, untouched spaces — so protecting them isn’t just important, it’s personal. That’s why we embed sustainability into every decision we make, from the fabrics we select to the way we ship our products.
- We’re committed to minimising our environmental impact at every level:
- Cutting waste in design, manufacturing and packaging
- Designing gear that’s built to last
- Reducing our reliance on harmful materials
This is how we protect the places that inspire us.
Our Commitment
We believe the best kit shouldn’t cost the earth — and it shouldn’t end up in landfill either. Our commitment goes beyond better gear: it’s about better systems, better choices, and a long-term view of what truly lasts.
We’re actively working to:
- Shift towards a fully circular product lifecycle
- Increase use of recycled and low-impact materials
- Reduce emissions through smarter logistics
- Extend product life through repair and reuse
Smarter Materials, Built to Last
We source and develop materials that balance performance with responsibility:
PFC-Free Coatings
The majority of our Terra Nova tents now use PFC-free, breathable inner fabrics, with select models featuring fully PFC-free flysheets and groundsheets using our Si2 fabric.
Sustainable Fibres
Extremities ECO headwear range uses Polylana® yarn — a low-impact alternative to acrylic with all the warmth and durability of a winter beanie.
Recycled Insulation
Our use of PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation Eco brings industry-leading thermal performance made from 100% post-consumer recycled fibres.
Lower Impact Operations
We apply the same mindset to how we work as to what we make:
Circular by Design
We build gear to last, then help you keep it going:
Repair, Don’t Replace
Our repair service gives damaged gear a second life. From re-stitching seams to replacing tent poles, we help customers keep their kit in the field.
Tent Trade-In Scheme
Ready for an upgrade? We offer 30% off a new Terra Nova tent when you trade in your old one. It’s our way of rewarding loyalty while reducing waste.
