The July 1, 2026 registration deadline under California’s Responsible Textile Recovery Act of 2024 (SB 707) has passed. Apparel, footwear, and household textile companies that may have obligations under the law should register with Landbell USA as soon as possible.
As California’s approved Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) for SB 707, Landbell USA, a non-profit, supports companies as they prepare for California’s emerging textile stewardship framework and the milestones ahead.
The Deadline Has Passed — What Companies Need to Know
The July 1 registration deadline may have passed, but many companies are still determining whether SB 707 applies to their business and what actions they need to take next. Apparel, footwear, and household textile companies are commonly asking:
- Does SB 707 apply to my business?
- Which products are covered?
- What does registration involve?
- What fees are required?
- How should we prepare internally?
Companies looking for guidance can visit Landbell USA’s Producer Support & FAQs page for information on obligations, registration requirements, finance-related questions, and program participation.
Why Registration Matters
For companies that are obligated under SB 707, registration is an important step toward participating in California’s textile stewardship program and preparing for future obligations.
Registration is more than an administrative requirement. It connects companies to updates, educational resources, implementation information, and engagement opportunities designed to help them stay informed as California’s textile stewardship framework continues to develop.
Companies that have not yet registered need to act promptly. Delaying registration does not delay potential obligations under SB 707, and delayed registration may increase compliance risk for companies that are required to participate under the law.
What Registered Companies Can Access
Registered companies have access to Circul8, Landbell USA’s secure member portal, where program information, resources, and updates are made available. Through Circul8, companies can stay connected to important developments and implementation-related information.
Registered companies may also participate in Producer Pulse an informal discussion forum designed to help companies reflect on CalRecycle workshop topics, raise practical questions, compare perspectives with peers, and share feedback with Landbell USA. These conversations help companies stay engaged and informed as implementation continues to evolve and allows Landbell USA to consolidate feedback to amply represent producers in CalRecycle’s regulatory process.
Registration Is Simple
For companies that have determined they are obligated under SB 707, registration with Landbell USA is designed to be straightforward. The online registration process takes less than 10 minutes to complete and does not require detailed supply or volume reporting during enrollment.
The $1,000 fee is a flat annual administrative charge for the 2026–2027 cycle. This onboarding cost registers your company with Landbell USA and supports critical pre-implementation activities, including the statewide needs assessment and operational planning required under SB 707.
What Companies Should Do Next
