Join us for an in-depth webinar on California’s groundbreaking Textile Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) law, SB 707, and what it means for stakeholders across the healthcare textile sector. As companies prepare for the July 1, 2026 deadline for textile producers to join the Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO), this session will provide attendees with working knowledge of the bill and how it will impact manufacturers, importers, healthcare facilities, and commercial laundries, including a discussion on eco-modulated fees and opportunities for engagement across the value chain.  The webinar will also highlight how the healthcare linen and laundry industry is uniquely positioned to lead in compliance and sustainability. Participants will gain insight into how SB 707 creates new opportunities for the healthcare linen market to demonstrate leadership in environmental stewardship, circularity, and waste reduction while strengthening their value proposition with hospitals and care providers.
