Introducing The Eco-Friendly ECOPAK™ Line

ALPAKA has long had a reputation for delivering high-quality everyday bags, travel bags, and a range of accessories that are built to last. We craft our products with durability and functionality in mind. We’re always trying to innovate our products, and that’s why we’ll soon be releasing a new line using ECOPAK™ EPX fabrics.

As many of our customers know, we’re committed to sustainability via the products we make, the packaging we use, and the companies and organizations we work with. With our EPX line, we’ll now be giving you more of your favorite products using the latest and greatest in sustainable materials from Challenge Outdoor.

What Are ECOPAK™ Fabrics?

Challenge Sailcloth was founded in 1917 and has been known for delivering some of the toughest fabrics for sailcloths for generations. Over the years, the company has turned its talents to delivering outdoor and adventure gear using its technical textiles. This is how Challenge Outdoor was born.

The Challenge Outdoor brand focuses on delivering a range of high-quality sustainable fabrics for adventure seekers. ECOPAK™ fabrics are the world’s first durable waterproof fabrics created from 100% recycled polyester and film. Recycled plastic water bottles are taken and upcycled into technical textiles that are perfect for sturdy outdoor and EDC gear.

Products made with ECOPAK™ fabrics give you all the perks of sustainability without sacrificing quality. On the contrary, these materials are exceptionally strong. They last longer, absorb 80% less moisture, offer better UV resistance, and provide better color retention than traditional laminated nylon. They’re also tested to ensure they can withstand the toughest conditions.

More About The ECOPAK™ EPX Collection

The ECOPAK™ EPX collection features a range of ECOPAK™ fabrics targeted at various functions. For instance, EPX400 is a 400d recycled polyester with incredible durability. Its powerful construction gives it twice the resistance of your average 420d nylon, making it perfect for durable interiors and exteriors.

EPX600 is a tightly woven yarn with a sleek, stylish appearance. Carefully crafted to meet the toughest conditions, it’s comparable to 500d Cordura® in terms of durability, stitch-holding, and abrasion resistance. As such, it’ll keep your bags and accessories holding strong and looking like new no matter how much you use them.

At ALPAKA, we’ve always aimed to deliver bags, pouches, and accessories with the best materials possible. By introducing the EPX collection to some of our products, you’ll get your favorite items in new colors and new sustainable materials. You’ll also be helping the environment simply by buying and using them.

Elements Tech Case Mini

One of the first products you’ll find in our latest ECOPAK™ line is the Elements Tech Case Mini. This tech organizer is a favorite for travelers, office workers, students, and anyone who wants to keep their cables, chargers, and small gadgets organized. While it’s available in a range of colors and fabrics, the new EPX model is a top choice for eco-conscious travelers.

The Elements Tech Case Mini is slim, stylish, and highly functional. It includes multiple organizational compartments to keep your gadgets and accessories organized.

You can easily store this tech case in a drawer or put it in your bag when you need to take it somewhere. You can also carry it like a crossbody bag using the detachable shoulder strap, giving you easy access to your accessories and valuables while you’re on the go. It makes for an excellent everyday carry bag for anyone who wants to be more organized.

It’s compact yet capable of carrying a range of daily essentials, including your keys, cards, earbuds, cables, chargers, and small tools.

Due to its compact size, you can easily keep this pouch in a sling bag or backpack. For an even easier option, you can clip it onto your bag strap or belt. That way, you can always grab your essentials in seconds. Overall, it helps you stay organized and makes your daily life a little easier.
