Minnesota HF3713 mandates producers of textiles, carpet, and mattresses to establish a collection and management system for disposed products.

Minnesota HF3713, the "Responsible Textile Waste Recovery Act," requires producers of textiles, carpet, and mattresses to establish and fund a system to collect and manage these products when disposed of. The bill creates an account to manage funds for this purpose, imposes penalties for non-compliance, and mandates a report on the system's effectiveness. Money is appropriated for these initiatives. The act defines key terms such as "covered product," "collector," and "consumer," and outlines the responsibilities of producers, collectors, and consumers in the system.
