California Responsible Textile Recovery Act

California has enacted the nation’s first extended producer responsibility (EPR) law specifically targeting textiles. SB 707, the Responsible Textile Recovery Act of 2024 (the Act), imposes direct compliance obligations on brands, manufacturers, importers and retailers selling covered textile products in the state. By July 1, 2026, all producers must join the approved Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO). This alert summarizes the Act’s key requirements, identifies which entities bear compliance responsibility, and outlines the practical steps that fashion and luxury brands must take before the deadline.
