FYI all carbon is slowing "decomposing" as the half life of C-14 is about 5700 years. So, when you have this for 5700 years about 1/2 the "decomposing carbon" will be gone.

The tent and rain fly fabrics made from dye-free recycled polyester. I don't know where you got the decomposing carbon idea.

If properly cared for, this tent will last as long or longer than any other tent made from non-recycled materials. It too is subject to mold & UV damage like all other tents. The floor & fly are both silicone treated with a polyurethane coating making it very waterproof & the body is recycled mesh making it very breathable. I don't see much difference between this tent & one made from new materials other than the green factor.
