Textile waste is a significant issue, with a substantial amount being discarded annually. State regulators have reported that 1.2 million tons of textiles are thrown away each year.

A new law aims to reduce this waste. The law, which took effect on July 1, targets the fast fashion industry.

Further information on this development is available from the source, including details on the specific measures outlined in the new legislation, known as the Responsible Textile Recovery Act.
