At XACT Nutrition, we believe in fueling adventures, fostering community, and making positive choices—for people and the planet. When we set out to create XACT Minis, our first bulk energy snack, we knew we had to solve a key challenge: how can active people carry and share their energy boosts conveniently and sustainably?
Our single-serve energy bars were naturally portable, but the bite-sized Minis needed a smarter, waste-conscious solution. Most available options were mass-produced overseas, made from low-quality materials, and destined for landfills—a direct contradiction to the purpose of Minis: reducing packaging waste while encouraging connection through sharing.
That’s when we discovered Eco Loco, a Quebec-based company championing sustainability through eco-friendly, locally made products. Their mission aligns perfectly with ours:
-
Local Production – Eco Loco partners with over 50 Canadian businesses, with 70% of their products made in Canada. They have developed 20 fully local products, ensuring responsible sourcing and transparency.
-
Ethical Sourcing – When local options aren’t available, Eco Loco carefully selects zero-waste, sustainable alternatives, prioritizing environmental and ethical responsibility.
-
Community Engagement – Eco Loco gives back 1% of annual profits, supports women-led businesses, and runs educational sustainability programs in schools.
A Reusable Pouch That Reflects Our Shared Values
Through this collaboration, we designed a lightweight, reusable pouch made from recycled water bottles, crafted to fit seamlessly into a cycling jersey pocket, running vest, or backpack. Every component—knitted fabric, zippers, labels, graphics, and printing—is sourced and made locally in Montreal.
This pouch is not just durable and easy to clean—it’s a practical, eco-friendly solution for runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts looking to reduce waste while fueling their performance.
A Partnership That Fuels Performance & Sustainability
With this collaboration, we’re not just offering a smart and sustainable carrying solution—we’re supporting local businesses, promoting zero-waste initiatives, and making sustainability effortless for athletes.
We mixed our talents, and here’s the result!
