Establishing producer responsibility for textiles.

SB 6174 requires textile brands and manufacturers selling apparel in Washington to fund and manage the end-of-life recycling and reuse of their products. It directly affects most clothing, footwear, and accessory brands introduced in the state (excluding small businesses with under $1 million annual global turnover, PPE, and secondhand items), making them responsible for creating collection systems. Key provisions include establishing producer responsibility organizations to handle collection, sorting, and recycling through designated sites or mail-back programs, while prioritizing repair and reuse to reduce landfill waste. The bill amends state codes to implement this system, setting penalties for noncompliance.
