California’s textile recovery law is moving from statutory deadlines to implementation details—and American Circular Textiles, or AMCIRC, is keeping tabs.
The policy coalition’s second SB 707 implementation briefing updates its free public tracker with developments across three fronts: Landbell USA’s work as the state’s designated producer responsibility organization, CalRecycle’s regulatory workshops and an ongoing legal challenge to the organization’s selection.
The tracker debuted in March to help companies follow the rollout of SB 707. The 2024 California law puts producers in charge of a statewide recovery program for used clothing and household textiles.

“CalRecycle’s informal workshops are where the details of SB 707 will take shape. The whole textile value chain needs to be in that room. Our SB 707 hub is a free resource that puts clear, standardized implementation information in one place, so you show up informed, then get involved. We advocate for and guide our members through every step. What happens in California sets the template for everyone else,” Rachel Kibbe, founder and CEO of American Circular Textiles, said in a statement.
The next opportunity to weigh in is Nov. 12, when CalRecycle will hold a workshop from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time in Sacramento and online. The agenda covers the producer responsibility plan, contingency planning, plan termination, revocation of a PRO’s status and annual reports.
Participants can ask questions and offer comments in person or through Zoom.
