Global work-wear textile manufacturer Carrington Textiles, a part of RTS Textiles Group, has published its second annual sustainability report, marking one year since the group launched its first edition in July 2024. The publication showcases progress in environmental performance and sustainable innovation across the group. The report has reflected a pivotal year for RTS Textiles Group, formed in early 2025 through the consolidation of RTS Textiles Ltd, with its long-standing joint venture partners TMG in Portugal and STM in Pakistan. This unification brought the businesses under full ownership as a single group, with all parties becoming shareholders and creating a global organisation with over 130 million metres of annual production capacity and operations spanning the UK, mainland Europe and Asia.
Across its facilities, the Group reported measurable environmental achievements. At Carrington Textiles International (CTi) in Pakistan, they invested €3.4 million in a state-of-the-art Effluent Treatment Plant to enhance water treatment capacity. The site also reduced CO2 emissions by more than 20,000 tonnes, reclaimed 95 percent of caustic soda through its recovery plant and sourced 98 percent of steam consumption from biomass boilers. The Group also strengthened its sustainable product offering with the addition of technologies and fibres like Sorona, alongside its ongoing commitment to Better Cotton, REPREVE recycled polyester, organic cotton, TENCEL and CiCLO.
