The goal of the bill. SB 707, is to reduce the millions of tons of unwanted clothing that typically end up in landfills across the state, support the development of upcycling and recycling across the state and address the environmental impacts of “fast fashion.”

“SB 707 isn’t just about recycling; it’s about transforming the way we think about textile waste,” Senator Josh Newman (D-Fullerton), the bill’s author, said in a statement. “The framework created by SB 707 will create new opportunities for every Californian to participate in a more sustainable future.
