We Imagine a world without waste These terms define how we can do that together
All things one material
Everything you touch in daily life could be made from RTV. Our fully recyclable mono-material facilitates a world without waste.
Circularity
Circularity is where all product discards become raw material, not waste. At the end of life, products go back into the supply chain, not the landfill.
Mono material
A material made of a single compound or fiber. Only mono-materials are truly recyclable.
Linear model
In a linear model, even recycled materials end up in landfills. With a circular model, all waste is reclaimed and reused.
Designed to be recycled
To design a product with the end-of-life in mind. All design choices are based upon how that product can and will be recycled.
No new material
We ONLY USE discarded nylon from the ocean and land, making products that will be recycled into raw material for future products.
Product platform
Our tech delivers an integrated product platform; a complete set of mono-material components, zippers and trims. Your entire product is made from 100% RTV—NYLON
100% Recycled + recyclable
Recycled: Raw material that can be reclaimed
Recyclable: End of life products that can be recycled into raw material for new products
DISASSEMBLY not required
Typical products are intimate blends of up to 20 different fibers. Separating those fibers is cost prohibitive. RTV—NYLON has the properties of complex fibers blends yet is a mono-material that can EASILY be recycled.
Discarded Fishing Nets
Discarded Fishing Nets or "ghost nets" have been abandoned, lost or dumped into the ocean. Billions of pounds currently choke our delicate marine environment
Fibermine
The fiber from all product discards can now be reclaimed for reuse. What was waste is now simply raw material.
Infinite lifespan
Products or materials that can be infinitely recycled and never end up in a landfill
Frequently asked questions
What is RTV?
RTV enables a world without waste. We reclaim raw material from global clean-up to create products that can be recycled, infinitely.
RTV is: - An ingredient brand - we deliver snap on circularity - A product platform - we offer not only fabrics, but every component necessary to make garments and accessories - A circular solution for keeping waste out of landfills - a closed loop
What is an ingredient brand?
An ingredient brand upgrades an existing product with proprietary high performance materials.
What is a closed loop?
A solution where all products and materials are recycled to make future products.
What is a product platform?
Our tech delivers an integrated product platform; a complete set of product components, zippers and trim. Only when your entire product is made from 100% RTV—NYLON, is it truly recyclable.
How do we keep waste out of the landfills?
We use no new material. We manufacture using waste from global clean up. Everything we make is 100% recyclable.
Does RTV create their own products?
A full range of products is forthcoming from brands you love.
What does "designed to be recycled" mean?
To design a product with the end-of-life in mind. All design choices are based upon how that product can and will be recycled.
What is a "reverse engineered ecosystem"?
A product supply chain where a products' end-of-life of is considered first. All design choices are based on creating products that can be 100% recycled.
What is "turn-key circularity"?
The ability to "Snap-On" our circular supply chain for the sourcing, manufacture and recycling of a truly circular range of products.
Where do the discarded fishing nets come from?
We have multiple partners cleaning the oceans near each of the following continents. They pull from the shallows and the deep.
Africa Europe South America North America Asia- coming soon
Why does RTV use nylon?
Aside from being the strongest, least pollutive synthetic, there is enough nylon in the ocean to produce 300 billion pairs of shoes, and just as much on land. Our mission is to pull that waste from the environment and never put it back.
Is RTV made in the USA?
Yes. Currently everything RTV is made in the USA.
I love your NASA collaboration. Are the jackets available for purchase?
All NASA/Oxcart products were produced exclusively for the NASA Artemis broadcast team. There will be an announcement once they are available for purchase.
What makes RTV different from other sustainable companies?
Many sustainable companies create planet positive raw materials or inputs that cannot be recycled. RTV has patented inputs and the ability to recycle all products made from that input, infinitely.
