SMART is committed to shaping policies and decisions that directly impact members in the wiping materials, used clothing, fiber markets, and textile recycling sectors. Our top priority is advancing and protecting the industry’s ability to operate, innovate, and thrive.
We are deeply engaged in the most pressing issues surrounding textile reuse and recycling — not as bystanders, but as an industry already delivering practical, scalable solutions. By highlighting the role our members play in reducing waste, conserving resources, and driving circularity, SMART ensures policymakers understand the value we bring to environmental and economic goals.
When new challenges or opportunities arise, we respond quickly with targeted advocacy, strategic lobbying, and credible, data-driven information. By staying proactive and engaged at every level of government, we work to ensure the voice of our industry is heard — and that the outcomes support the continued growth and success of our members.
