U.S Textile Policy. Strategy. Market Access.
American Circular Textiles (AMCIRC) is an independent platform for companies navigating U.S. textile policy. We advance practical, bipartisan solutions that strengthen domestic supply chains, support nearshoring and onshoring, and turn textile waste into economic opportunity.
We bridge industry and policy, helping companies navigate a complex and rapidly evolving regulatory landscape and positioning them to operate profitably, resiliently, and competitively in the U.S. market.
Our work goes beyond advocacy. We help companies understand emerging requirements, assess regulatory and political risk, identify where engagement creates leverage, and support practical policy outcomes that enable the full spectrum of circular businesses to operate and grow.
We convene critical policy discussions on textile reuse and recycling, trade reform, and domestic manufacturing at the highest levels of government, while providing independent insight into how policy developments affect real-world business strategy.
Our work has:
Played a key role in shaping federal policy, including the Americas Act, the first Federal Bill introduced to incorporate textile reuse and recycling.
Supported stakeholder engagement and education on state-level policies, including Extended Producer Responsibility initiatives (EPR) initiatives, helping industry understand requirements and implementation risks
Driven industry national and global engagement between industry and government, including leading U.S. private sector participation in the G7 A.C.T. initiative on circular textiles
Published first-of-its-kind policy education and research, including The United States Opportunity for Circular Fashion and A National Blueprint for EPR, providing data-driven insight to inform both policymakers and business leaders
As the only independent U.S. platform operating across federal and state textile policy, American Circular Textiles provides companies with the intelligence, relationships, and strategic perspective needed to operate confidently in a fragmented and fast-moving policy environment.
While American Circular Textiles works to align industry where possible, the views, opinions, and perspectives expressed do not necessarily reflect those of individual members or partners.
