California Retailers Association, AAFA and NRF have signed an MoU to establish a producer-led PRO under California’s SB 707, the US’ first EPR law for textiles.
The PRO will manage end-of-life textile responsibility through collection, repair, reuse, and recycling.
It aims to unite stakeholders across the value chain, meet legal requirements, and begin operations in early 2026 following state approval.
