Circular Sourcing is Australia’s marketplace for designer deadstock and quality surplus.
Circular Sourcing is an Australian marketplace dedicated to the sale of designer deadstock and quality surplus materials like fabrics (and in the future, yarns and trims).
We began trading as a simple online shop in 2018 after A.BCH founder, Courtney Holm, experienced a major shortage of circular raw materials on the market. In 2022, with support from Sustainability Victoria’s Circular Economy Business Innovation Fund and with our project partners Full Circle Fibres, Melbourne Textile Knitting (MTK), The Social Studio plus instrumental collaborators like Harvey and The Good Egg Collective, we transformed into a marketplace where more businesses could sell their surplus materials, too.
Our goal is to radically shift the needle, supporting the Australian fashion and textile industry as it transitions to working with more surplus or recycled materials and less virgin materials.
A circular future is a win for all. Got questions? Get in touch.
Research shows us that over 10 million kilograms of excess textiles are created, imported or accumulated from production leftovers every year in Australia. By conservative calculations, the dollar value on this surplus is roughly $500 million. With no obvious pathway for this surplus material to go to, we created Circular Sourcing.
The Circular Sourcing mission is to circulate surplus and designer deadstock materials for the fashion and textile industry while kickstarting a circular textile economy in Australia and beyond.
We’re proudly supported in this mission by the Victorian Government’s Circular Economy Innovation Fund as part of the Circular Economy Business Innovation Centre. See how things work around here.
