Green Team at the SMART Fall Conference in Arizona

September 30, 2025

Green Team attended the S.M.A.R.T. (Secondary Materials And Recycled Textiles) Association Fall Conference in beautiful Arizona, and it was refreshing to see so many familiar and new faces! As partners in the shared mission to divert #textile from landfills, we engaged in lively discussions on how to expand our impact even further.

Together with other leading collectors, we highlighted key bottlenecks and opportunities in local and state #legislation—especially in light of California’s Responsible Textile Recovery Act and the growing number of states now drafting their own EPR bills.

We continue to actively support both businesses and government bodies in shaping a future where textile #reuse is convenient, viable, and scalable. We encourage you to join the conversation in your community to help ensure more used clothing finds a second home—lightening the environmental burden of textile waste!
