CPSC Textile Map Questionnaire

This form is for the California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC) to build a database of textiles professionals. In 2022, CPSC created the textile resource map through a series of pilot and research projects mapping the landscape of textile recovery globally. The map expanded by adding reuse, repair, and recycling businesses, thrift stores, craft centers, and NGOs all over the country. And most recently, adding textile businesses to help brands come to market with yarn spinning, fabric weaving, knitting, testing labs, and other production support.

CPSC regularly updates this map as new organizations, interested in creating a circular economy, submit the form and contact CPSC. The submission of a survey does not guarantee eligibility or selection for a funded opportunity. CPSC staff will contact each candidate to confirm receipt and evaluate opportunities for collaboration.
