Textile Waste Reduction Act

The Textile Waste Reduction Act directs the Environmental Protection Agency to create a National Textile Circularity Strategy aimed at reducing textile waste and promoting the repair, reuse, and recycling of clothing and fabrics. To support this effort, the bill establishes an Interagency Working Group that coordinates activities across multiple federal departments, including Energy, State, and Commerce-related agencies. Additionally, it creates an Advisory Board composed of industry experts, academics, government officials, and non-governmental organizations to provide ongoing guidance on policy development. The Administrator is required to publish data on textile waste disposal and identify available federal funding opportunities to help states, local governments, and tribal nations implement these circularity initiatives.
