Vision & Mission
“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” - Our Common Future 1987 WCED
RTS’s vision is to promote the use of sustainable-minded monofilament yarn, ultimately enabling consumers to make informed choices about their purchases.
Our goal is to be a part of sustainable industries, reducing the carbon footprint and resource consumption of textile through monofilaments. We want to ensure that all products follow the principles of environmental friendliness and social responsibility throughout their entire lifecycle—from manufacturing to use and recycling. Ultimately, this is to preserve environmental and energy resources for the next generation.
Our mission is to raise awareness and support for sustainable textiles, and dedicating ourselves to innovative research and development. At the same time, we also call upon like-minded partners across the value chain to jointly develop new possibilities for monofilaments, providing the market with sustainable textile materials. To achieve this, we are committed to breaking existing specifications of monofilaments, reducing their diameters, and applying them to a wider range of textiles. RTS can offer technical support and encourage brands to adopt mono-material designs to promote textile recycling.
We invite you to join us in creating a sustainable future for all.
