 A first-in-the-nation textile recycling bill has advanced in the California legislature. Senate Bill 707, known as the Responsible Textile Recovery Act of 2024, would seek to ramp up the recycling of old clothing and textiles in the state. If passed, the legislation would require textile producers to establish and fund a program to better reuse, repair, and recycle clothing and textile fibers, and reduce waste in the textile and fashion industries.
