ECOPAK ™
ECOPAK™ from Challenge Sailcloth is the world's first 100% recycled laminated pack fabric - designed from the ground up to meet or
exceed the technical properties of traditional laminated nylon while also being good for the environment. ECOPAK™ starts with a 100%
recycled REPREVE polyester face, then adds a proprietary 100% recycled film to make everything waterproof. An environmentally
friendly, PFC-free C0 DWR also provides water resistance to the face fabric.
ECOPAK™ offers the same qualities and feel as VX21, but is lighter, more water resistant, and is manufactured with 100% recycled
polyester. Each yard of ECOPAK™ fabric uses at least 20 recycled plastic bottles in the production process and emits 50% less CO2
thannylon, saving over a pound of CO2 per yard. In addition, the production uses no solvents, fluorocarbons, or ovens, and creates no
wastewater.
It absorbs 80% less moisture than traditional laminated nylon and is 97% more UV resistant, which means it lasts five times longer in the
sun than conventional film used in other fabrics - a big breakthrough in extending performance.
