The kinetic theory assumes that collisions of gas particles are perfectly elastic. What does this statement mean?

The kinetic theory describes a gas as a large number of submicroscopic particles(atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant rapid motion that has randomness arising from their many collisions with each other and with the walls of the container.
