Join the California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC) and Fashion Is Outrageous (FIO) to deepen awareness and drive proactive participation in SB 707: California Responsible Textile Recovery Act 2024.
This workshop brings brands, designers, buyers, upcyclers, waste diverters, policymakers, and researchers together to improve a diversity of thought and build real pathways for circularity. It acknowledges multiple ways of knowing and the value of difference through the exchange of knowledge between a range of stakeholders.
Contribute as part of a select group of leading stakeholders for a deep dive into the textile EPR program, the first of its kind in California. This workshop has been co-developed by Fashion Is Outrageous and the California Product Stewardship Council and will be delivered by the following facilitators:
– Joanne Brasch, Director of Advocacy, California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC)

– Kestrel Jenkins, Outreach Educator & Journalist/Podcaster, Conscious Chatter, and Co-Founder of Fashion Is Outrageous (FIO)
– Gabrielle Miller, University Academic Lecturer in Fashion Design for Sustainability, and Co-Founder of Fashion Is Outrageous (FIO)
In this interactive session, you will:
– Get inside the framework of Textile EPR in California, and deep-dive into the definitions in the bill.
– Engage in discussions that explore and play forward the real-world impact of SB 707 to help understand needs, opportunities, and true potential through design.
– Shape the conversation and contribute your voice toward deepening and evolving the definition of repair.
– Co-create mapping visuals, zine-making and critical dialogues toward a more inclusive, equitable, and accountable textile and fashion industry.
