Three large apparel trade groups have formed an organization that, if chosen by the state of California, could serve as the operational backbone for the first law in the U.S. that mandates the management of textile waste.

The nonprofit alliance comprises the National Retail Federation, the California Retailers Association and the American Apparel and Footwear Association.
