California Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed SB 707 , the Responsible Textile Recovery Act .

The new law requires a clothing, apparel and textile extended producer responsibility ( EPR ) program, as defined by lawmakers.

Fashion consumers in California will now have the option of bringing damaged and unwanted clothing and other textiles to collection sites.

California will set an example for — and hopefully have a cascading effect on — the rest of the country.

Rachel Kibbe , CEO of ACT and Circular Services Group , said SB 707 ’s passage highlighted “the urgent need for a federal waste policy” She encouraged the clothing industry to increase its engagement with groups like ACT to participate in the enactment of environmental policy.
