About us.

ACT (American Circular Textiles) is a coalition of industry leaders working to create smart, national policies that strengthen domestic supply chains, drive nearshoring and onshoring, and transform textile waste into a valuable resource.

ACT bridges industry and policy, ensuring the future of textile manufacturing is sustainable, profitable, and resilient.
