Deadstock isn't dead. It's ready.
Circular Sourcing is Australia's marketplace for designer deadstock and quality surplus.
Our Story
Circular Sourcing started in 2018 as an initiative by A.BCH founder Courtney Holm to address the growing issue of textile waste in Australia's fashion industry.
In 2022, the platform underwent a major transformation with support from Sustainability Victoria, evolving into a comprehensive marketplace connecting designers, manufacturers, and brands with quality surplus materials.
The Problem We're Solving
Every year, Australia generates over 10 million kilograms of excess textiles from manufacturing, design overruns, and surplus stock.
This represents approximately $500 million in surplus value that traditionally ends up in landfill or is destroyed, while local designers and manufacturers struggle to access affordable, quality materials in small quantities.
Circular Sourcing bridges this gap, creating a marketplace where surplus becomes valuable resources for innovation and sustainable production.
