Sheila Millar Quoted in FashionUnited Article on Textile EPR

Keller and Heckman Partner Sheila Millar was quoted in the FashionUnited article, “Textile EPR: What the 2026 policy outlook means for US fashion companies.” The article highlights the increasing awareness of textile waste across the United States, and how more and more states are looking to implement textile extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes.

In 2024, California became the first state to adopt a comprehensive textile EPR law, and for many textile and apparel companies, California will serve as their first real introduction to textile EPR compliance. “Virtually everybody is going to be affected by California,” said Sheila during a recent webinar with American Circular Textiles (AMCIRC). “It's a huge market, a big state. California will be instructive as to how new legislation in other states might pan out, and you will get experience in how that works because almost everyone selling nationally will be affected by it.”
