RTS™ Shines at MOENV Event, Opening New Chapter in Textile Recycling

We are deeply honored to announce that the RTS™ team, with our "Optimization of Recycled Conjugated Monofilament Manufacturing Process and Its Commercial Application" technology, successfully passed the "Resource Circulation Innovation and R&D Subsidy Program" under the Resource Circulation Administration, Ministry of Environment (MOENV). Furthermore, we were invited to attend the "Resource Circulation Scientific Research Innovation Sharing Session" on February 9, 2026, to present our outstanding annual achievements to leaders across the industry, government, and academia.

Challenges of Mixed-Material Recycling

Discarded textiles are often difficult to process due to their mixed materials, ultimately facing the fate of incineration. We deeply understand that strengthening source control and screening single materials to over 95% purity are essential steps to make recycled materials viable for industrial use.

At the sharing session, the RTS™ team demonstrated how we confront this challenge. Through our industry-leading "Tri-component Conjugated Spinning Technology," we have overcome the downcycling issues of traditional mechanical recycling, establishing a true T2T (Textile to Textile) closed-loop demonstration pathway for Taiwan's textile industry.

The Sustainable Aesthetics of "Inclusion": Stunning the Industry, Government, and Academia

The most eye-catching highlight of the event was our industry-academia design collaboration with the College of Textiles and Clothing at Fu Jen Catholic University. We shared a profound realization with the committee and attendees: "A perfect circular loop doesn't require perfect raw materials."

Instead of obsessing over bleaching the recycled materials, we used technology to embrace their inherent impurities and color mixing. When the "impurities" in the eyes of engineers were translated into "unique recycled textures" by the skilled hands of designers, it resonated deeply with the audience. This approach of honestly presenting the material's recycled journey perfectly echoes our "Retain" spirit—not only does it give cold technology a warm story, but it also demonstrates immense commercial and aesthetic value.

Enthusiastic Responses: Cross-Industry Co-creation is Happening Now

The February 9th sharing session was not just a summary of our project, but the starting point for the next phase of RTS™. Following the event, we received high praise from government officials and academic committee members, as well as strong interest and attention from downstream brand owners, weaving mills, and designers.

Currently, we are actively engaging in dialogues with multiple potential partners, exploring cross-industry collaboration opportunities to apply RTS™ recycled monofilaments to outdoor functional bags, industrial auxiliary materials, and more. From the skeleton of technology to the flesh and blood of design, RTS™ is actively expanding our sustainable ecosystem.

Weave the Future Together

RTS™ believes that the circular economy shouldn't just be data in a laboratory; it should become a part of everyday life. We sincerely invite more brands, designers, and manufacturing partners who share this vision to join us. Let's use design as the bridge and technology as the backbone, making every RTS™ recycled monofilament a proud testament to Taiwan's commitment to global sustainability.
