Circular Sourcing: eBay Circular Fashion Fund 2026 Australian Finalist

eBay named Circular Sourcing a regional winner in eBay's 2026 Circular Fashion Fund. Founded by Courtney Holm, who spent eight years building the circular fashion label A.BCH before pivoting to tackle the industry's material waste problem at scale.

Circular Sourcing is a platform building the data infrastructure behind physical textiles, making surplus materials visible, accessible and commercially viable for brands and designers.

A few weeks ago, Courtney travelled to New York City to pitch alongside the global finalists. We caught up with her to hear more.


Could you share some insights into your background and the journey that led you to launch Circular Sourcing?

I founded circular fashion label A.BCH in 2016 at a time when sustainable fashion had a few major players, but no one was yet talking about circular design. Over the next eight years, I built A.BCH from concept to beloved brand in Melbourne; we established our own factory and eventually manufactured 100% of our products in-house through an on-demand model. It was through A.BCH that I gained a deep understanding of supply chains, materials and manufacturing. It was also how I saw the enormous waste issues up close. It dawned on me that whatever little universe we created with A.BCH wouldn’t have an iota of impact on the industry at large. So we started small, just as a little esty store, selling surplus here and there for ourselves and then our brand friends, and eventually with a co-funding from A.BCH and Sustainability Victoria and contributions from Full Circle Fibres, MTK Australia and The Social Studio, we built a central platform for this to scale.

That led us to realise the problem was less about surplus being a problem needing to be solved downstream and more that the industry extracts and grossly undervalues important material assets simply because the data behind them is lost. We realised that we could build the data infrastructure behind physical textiles and that's exactly what we're doing today.

You were one out of 8 successful global finalists for the eBay Circular Fashion Fund so take me back to that pitch room. What was it really like standing in front of industry experts, how did you prepare for that moment, and what would you tell other businesses heading into pitching opportunities?

This was honestly one of the most intense pitches I've ever prepped for. The judges are all seriously iconic people in the industry; they know the problem deeply and they will scrutinise every word much more than a generic investor ever could. The pressure was real, including from traveling halfway around the world! But I think I was fairly well prepared..

Prep looks like getting your deck right so the visuals can help you share your story, not distract or cause confusion. It looks like practising a lot, because when you only have 5 minutes, every word you say counts. It's also getting to the point as soon and succinctly as possible. And it's managing nerves and pressure, though the other founders in the competition were so supportive and it made the whole process feel really good, regardless of who won the final prize.

You founded the brand A.BCH in 2017 and built it into a world-leading example of circular design, before making the strategic decision in early 2024 to focus on building Circular Sourcing. What was the defining moment that convinced you the industry needed a dedicated platform for surplus textiles rather than another circular fashion brand?
I guess I talked about it a little already, but I think it was the moment when the scale of impact hit me. It was like, could I dare to think bigger? Globally? Transformationally? Could I go from being heads down, running around and doing my own creative thing in my own little world, to opening myself up to the very public, scrutinised, and tumultuous life of a technology founder where my business is far more likely to fail? Ultimately I chose yes. It hasn't been easy, but it was the best decision I could have made.

Circular Sourcing’s mission is to divert materials from ending up in landfill. How do you go about shifting the mindset of brands and manufacturers from seeing surplus as a liability to treating it as a premium material opportunity?
You know, the cool thing about surplus is, once the data is restructured and the product is made visible, it's actually very easy to get brands on board to use it. It's available immediately, enabling speed to market, it's unique, providing endless story telling opportunities, and the material and impact data work has all been done for them, so it's pretty much a win-win. Brands are coming to us already. What is more challenging is getting brands to think and design for the full circular lifecycle, that is our real challenge and where we are heading, big picture.

You deliberately use the term "material streams" rather than "waste streams," viewing all material as a valuable resource. How does that language and philosophy shape the way Circular Sourcing is designed both as a platform and as a business?
I think we just have particular phrases and language that we lean into at Circular Sourcing. The reason why is that we are building a company culture, and a big part of culture is language. We’re also industry operators by trade. Certain words and phrases make supply chain folks bristle. The way things are framed is so important not only for shaping the vernacular but for shaping the actions those words invoke. The call to action for revaluing resources is a lot more powerful than reducing waste.

What does being selected as a finalist for eBay’s Circular Fashion Fund mean to your business and what are you hoping the funding will unlock for Circular Sourcing?

It's epic. I feel so lucky to be building this business at this moment in time. It’s a privilege to be shaping the future industry we want and need. Being selected for the fund is a resounding YES to our central thesis. While I don't know exactly what it will unlock yet for Circular Sourcing, I’m open to the possibilities of who will come alongside us next, because one thing I know for sure is this is not something we can go at alone. So I'm excited for who will join us, partner with us, invest with us next – and what that unlocks.

Australian Fashion in Focus at the 2026 Global Sourcing Expo

The AFC is pleased to announce that Executive Chair Marianne Perkovic will deliver the opening address at the 2026 Global Sourcing Expo in Sydney on Tuesday 16 June.

Her address, Making the Future: Australia's Fashion Industry in a Changing Global Supply Chain, comes at a pivotal moment for the sector. Australian fashion is at an inflection point. Global sourcing networks are evolving rapidly, local manufacturing ambitions are growing, and the decisions made over the next 12 months about where we source, how we build, and who we partner with,  will shape the industry for the decade ahead.

Marianne will offer a view from the front, covering three areas the AFC believes are critical for members and the wider industry to engage with right now: the current state of Australian fashion, and where the opportunities and pressures sit heading into the second half of 2026; the Federal Government's National Manufacturing Strategy, and what it means in practical terms for designers, brands, manufacturers and retailers across the value chain; and the case for why Australia's relationships with its global supply partners have never been more strategically important — not in tension with local manufacturing ambitions, but as part of the same story.

In a first for the event, the Global Sourcing Expo and the AFC are partnering to pilot a showcase of three Australian manufacturers on the fair floor. It's a small but deliberate step to bring local capability into the same conversation as international supply, and give buyers a direct line to onshore partners alongside the global suppliers they've come to source from.

Across the three days, Patty Huntington will again host a program of insightful industry discussions, including a session on Made in Australia: The Reshoring Movement Gaining Momentum.

The Global Sourcing Expo runs 16–18 June 2026 at ICC Sydney and brings together international manufacturers, suppliers and Australian trade buyers across apparel, footwear, accessories, textiles and homewares. Entry is free for trade visitors.

The AFC encourages members to attend the opening address and to use the three days that follow to connect, compare and build the partnerships that will define what comes next for Australian fashion.

AFW2026: Meet the Makers, presented by EPSON

Australian Fashion Week has long been the industry's most important week of the year. This year, we used it to do something different, bring the supply chain into the room.

On the rooftop of the Museum of Contemporary Art, the AFC hosted Meet the Makers. a curated matchmaking event presented by Epson and MC'd by Glen Rollason, Founder of RB Patterns. 11 of Australia's leading manufacturers gathered under one roof, giving brands a rare opportunity to discover the capabilities, craftsmanship and capacity sitting right in their own backyard.

For too long, local manufacturing has felt out of reach for many Australian brands, not because the capability isn't there, but because the connections haven't been. Meet the Makers was built to change that. By creating a structured, face-to-face environment during the industry's most concentrated week of the year, we brought the right people into the same room at the right time.

None of this would have been possible without the eleven manufacturers who brought the event to life: EPSON, Citizen Wolf, ABMT, J&M Fashions, Knovus, Marlene Dawn, MTK Australia, RB Patterns, Silver Fleece, Tech Style Studio and Waverley Mills.

Each showcased what they do best and in doing so, opened the door to a new wave of Australian-made partnerships.

The calibre of brands in attendance reflected the broad appetite for local production across the industry. Joining the event were brands spanning from enterprise to SMB, including CUE, THE ICONIC, Alemais, BY JOHNNY, MARCS, Injury, Haluminous, LuluJaru, West 14th and more.  

The result was exactly what the event was designed to deliver. The room was alive with energy from the moment it opened, with brands eager to understand what Australian manufacturers are truly capable of. From fabric and pattern making to full garment production and digital printing, the range of expertise on display was a powerful reminder of the depth of skill that still exists.


A special thank you to our partner EPSON, whose support made Meet the Makers possible. Events like this are only possible with partners who are genuinely invested in the future of the Australian fashion industry, and Epson's commitment to local manufacturing is a reflection of exactly that.

BlockTexx And Asia Pacific Fibers Collaborate To Bring A Circular Future For The Global Textile Industry Closer To Reality

BlockTexx, an Australian clean-tech leader in textile resource recovery, has partnered with integrated polyester manufacturer Asia Pacific Fibers to accelerate the commercialisation of Textile-to-Textile recycled polyester filament yarns. This collaboration signals an important step for the industry: the move from small-scale innovation toward reliable, scalable circular inputs that can integrate directly into existing global supply chains.

The road to sustainability is a massive challenge for the fashion and textile industry with less than 1% of the global fibre market sourced from pre- and post-consumer recycled textiles. Global fibre production reached 124 million tonnes in 2023 and is projected to rise to 160 million tonnes by 2030 (Textile Exchange Materials Market Report 2024).

Polyester and cotton remain the most widely produced fibres, accounting for 77% of global fibre production. When blended these fabrics become harder to recycle and reuse as they must first go through a separation process.

BlockTexx uses its S.O.F.T.™ (separation of fibre technology) process to extract high value raw materials from post-consumer unwanted blended textiles and clothing to create PolyTexx® and CellTexx® for remanufacture into new products including fibre, fabric and trims.

Mr V. Ravishankar - CEO of Asia Pacific Fibers said the partnership with BlockTexx further reflects the company’s belief in the promise of a sustainable future.

“Our flagship product Re-petitive, made from PolyTexx® rPET exemplifies our commitment to sustainability, offering our value chain partners a truly circular solution that minimises water usage, chemical pollution, and landfill waste.” Mr. V. Ravishankar said.

“By closing the loop on end of life textiles, we empower our customers and brands to meet their environmental goals while maintaining uncompromising standards in design and performance.”

Through its end-to-end ecosystem for unwanted textiles and clothing, BlockTexx is actively driving a global movement towards a more circular economy for its partners and customers.

Graham Ross, Co-founder of BlockTexx said, “BlockTexx’s mission has been to develop low emissions technology to deliver commercial scale recycled products that are price comparative to virgin products.”

“We value the technical development expertise of the team at Asia Pacific Fibers and we appreciate their commitment to being an industry driver of Textile-to-Textile products. We are delighted to showcase these fabrics in Europe in October.”

Re-petitive yarns are available in raw white, dope dyed and with inherent functional features such as stretch, moisture management, anti-UV, anti-microbial, anti-dust mite and biodegradability. Made from 100% recycled polymers, the yarns can be curated to include 10% to 50% textile-waste content, depending on customer requirements. They are certified under OEKO-TEX, GRS and RCS standards as part of sustainability compliance.

Blocktexx and Asia Pacific Fibers will work together to develop a variety of commercially ready filament yarns and co-market these products to the global fashion and textile industry.

Blocktexx is actively working with global fashion and textile brands but excited to make Textile 2 Textile product available to Australian fashion and retail brands. Contact di@blocktexx.com for an introduction to Re-petitive yarns.

Media Release: Australian Fashion Council And Epson Australia To Develop Smart Factory Blueprint Powered By Ai And Digital Technologies

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 15th May, 2025

The Australian Fashion Council (AFC) and Epson Australia have launched an initiative to evaluate the potential for an AI and digitally-powered smart factory to advance Australia's clothing manufacturing capabilities. The organisations are seeking a qualified research partner to conduct a six-month feasibility study that will create a detailed blueprint for a pilot facility combining digital design and print, automation, and AI technologies to revolutionise local production.

The announcement comes just one week after the AFC unveiled its commitment to developing Australia's first-ever National Manufacturing Strategy for the fashion and textile industry. This smart factory feasibility study will evaluate how cutting-edge technology can form a key pillar in rebuilding local manufacturing capabilities.

A clothing smart factory is an automated production facility that enables on-demand, customisable garment manufacturing with minimal waste and fast turnaround times. By bringing together digital design and print and advanced manufacturing technologies with AI-powered systems and analytics, smart factories enable quick, flexible production runs that respond rapidly to market trends without the high minimum order quantities that can result in overproduction.

Jaana Quaintance-James, CEO of the Australian Fashion Council, said: "This smart factory initiative addresses multiple challenges facing Australian fashion manufacturing, from supply chain disruptions to skills shortages. Our sector is at a critical tipping point. The feasibility study will validate whether a smart factory pilot program can be commercially viable while delivering broader benefits as part of an integrated advanced manufacturing ecosystem."

Research commissioned by the AFC has estimated that for every $1 million invested in returning production to Australia, approximately $1.2 million in economic returns could be generated through job creation, technology adoption, strengthened local supply chains, and reduced import dependencies.

Craig Heckenberg, Managing Director of Epson Australia, said: "Epson is committed to supporting innovation in Australian manufacturing as we believe Epson’s digital textile printing technology can help build a more sustainable world and improve lives. Our partnership with the AFC and this blueprint and initiative will help local brands, big and small, have access to smart manufacturing capabilities that match their scale and ambition. For smaller brands, it means producing high quality garments locally, on demand. For larger companies it offers a blueprint to implement smart factory practices within their operations. As a result, we see a future where Australian made sustainable fashion will set the global standard, leading not just in design, but also in ethical, high-tech manufacturing.”

 

Why a Feasibility Study? 

Before committing significant resources to establish a smart factory, the AFC and Epson recognise the importance of thoroughly validating the concept, and learning from other local and international examples. The comprehensive six-month study will assess market viability, technical requirements, operational models, financial projections, and social and environmental considerations to create a detailed implementation roadmap.

"This isn't just a research exercise, it's the foundation for action," said Quaintance-James. "Following completion of the study toward the end of 2025, we'll develop a detailed implementation plan to secure investment partnerships, finalise specifications for an initial pilot, develop training programs with educational institutions, and create a governance framework to maximise benefits to the Australian fashion industry."

"The smart factory concept represents a transformative shift toward 'rapid agile' on-demand manufacturing,” Heckenberg said. "Rather than speculative production, this approach enables creating products in response to actual consumer demand, simultaneously addressing profitability challenges and environmental concerns."

The initiative aims to retain sovereign manufacturing capability, rebuild local supply chains, drive digital innovation, and upskill the workforce through educational partnerships. "These advancements will deliver far-reaching economic and community benefits - from job creation and skills development to regional growth and greater participation for women in technology-driven manufacturing roles," Quaintance-James added.

 

Call for Research Partners

The AFC and Epson Australia are seeking research partners with experience in technology and innovation, fashion and textile industry expertise, stakeholder engagement, comprehensive research and analysis skills, and financial analysis capabilities.

Research partners may be Australian-based or international organisations with the capacity to conduct a thorough feasibility study that delivers actionable recommendations.

Interested parties should submit their expressions of interest by Sunday, 15th June, 2025.

Media Release: Landmark Partnership Australian Fashion Council And R.M. Williams Unite To Rebuild Australia’s Fashion And Textile Manufacturing Sector

Tuesday, 6th May, 2025, Sydney, Australia: The Australian Fashion Council (AFC) and R.M. Williams have today announced a landmark partnership to develop Australia’s first-ever National Manufacturing Strategy for the fashion and textile industry. This strategic collaboration will mobilise a nationwide effort to rebuild and future-proof the sector, unlock Australian-made capability and enable a globally competitive industry powered by innovation, advanced technology and next-generation skills. 

With 97 per cent of Australia’s $28 billion fashion industry produced offshore, this landmark initiative comes at a pivotal time, as growing trade uncertainty and fragile global supply chains underscore the need to diversify production and strengthen sovereign capability in apparel and footwear manufacturing. 

The strategy will address three interconnected challenges: safeguarding the industry’s $7.2 billion export contribution in an unpredictable global landscape; tackling a deepening skills crisis and widespread technical shortages, with the median age of skilled manufacturing workers now 57; and preserving a vital source of women's economic participation, with the industry employing 500,000 Australians - 77 per cent of whom are women

Research commissioned by the Australian Fashion Council estimated that for every $1 million invested in returning production to Australia could generate approximately $1.2 million in economic returns through job creation, technology, strengthened local supply chains, and reduced import dependencies, further strengthening the business case for strategic reinvestment in domestic manufacturing capabilities.

Jaana Quaintance-James, CEO of the AFC, said: “We’re incredibly proud to partner with R.M. Williams - an iconic brand that proves Australian manufacturing isn’t just possible; it’s profitable, scalable, and vital to our future. Our sector is at a critical tipping point. Through deep industry consultation, we’ve identified an urgent need for a National Manufacturing Strategy - one that safeguards jobs, restores technical capability, and strengthens our global competitiveness. Rebuilding local manufacturing will deliver far-reaching economic and community benefits - from job creation and skills development to regional growth and greater participation for women. This is about securing Australia’s fashion and textile future in an increasingly uncertain global market both economically, socially, and sustainably.”

Tara Moses, Chief Operating Office at R.M. Williams adds: “We’re honoured to step into this role at a time when local manufacturing is facing both challenges and opportunities. By partnering with the AFC, we hope to tackle systemic factors which limit growth and capability and inspire other Australian brands to produce locally. We believe that quality products made by skilled Australian hands will always be valued, and we’re excited to contribute to the AFC’s vision for a National Manufacturing Strategy that supports jobs, skills, and sustainability.”

The National Manufacturing Strategy will take shape through six structured industry consultation sessions conducted across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and online starting Monday, 5th May 2025 in Adelaide. 

These sessions will bring together manufacturers, brands and educators to map capabilities, identify critical gaps and develop targeted recommendations for both industry and governments. Following industry consultation, the AFC and R.M. Williams will engage with key stakeholders to implement the strategy, which will be released in late 2025.

The AFC invites all Australian textile, clothing, and footwear manufacturers and industry stakeholders to join this historic initiative. To ensure the National Manufacturing Strategy represents the diverse needs of businesses across the sector, the AFC is calling on all industry participants to register their interest: here.

Behind The Seams with Pattern Maker Glen Rollaston. Exclusive Interview.

Step behind the scenes of RBPatterns, where expertise and innovation redefine the art of pattern making. We recently spoke with co-founder, Glen Rollason. He shared his journey, insights into local manufacturing, and the future of fashion craftsmanship. Discover how this homegrown studio is setting new standards in the fashion industry, one pattern at a time.

  1. Could you share a little of the history behind RB Patterns and the services your business provides? 

RBPATTERNS was created by myself and Scott Bowring. Each of us has over 30 years of industry experience in design, production and pattern-making. We have worked globally for major brands and now have the only holistic pattern making, sampling and grading studio in Victoria. We were able to combine all these segmented supply chain services in the local fashion industry. We now support over 50 brands.

  1. What shifts have you noticed in Australia's local manufacturing sector?

Post pandemic we had a huge influx of brands returning to local manufacturing. Amazing. However, it showed the gap we have in knowledge of understanding how to produce clothes locally. 

We took this on as a positive, being able to help new to established brands successfully manage their supply chain locally. We are fostering and elevating the health of the local industry by shining the spotlight on these vital areas besides the catwalk and designer.

  1. Have you identified any skill shortages or gaps? If yes, what are they?

There is a massive gap in patternmaking knowledge and experience in the local industry, we are (gratefully) overwhelmed by the amount of work coming in and training younger graduates in manual and digital pattern making. 

The artisanal skill in making clothes that I was trained in seems to have been lost and we worry that once many retire, the skill will be gone forever. Fashion presently has become entertainment more than its craft.

  1. What do you believe would help support more manufacturing businesses like RB Patterns?

We have not had a large influx of migration that has been able to step into these skilled roles of manufacturing and those who have are not leaving their legacy to their children because it is no longer regarded as a respected and skilled profession. 

Being less hierarchical in this industry must happen, we upstream funding and public relations to the end of the fashion system and leave little space to celebrate and understand the amazing supply chain community that has enabled that end to flourish. Supporting the growth of the local micro to small manufacturing space is essential and that also includes the pattern makers, cutters etc.

  1. How do you stay competitive and innovative in the ever-evolving landscape of the manufacturing industry?

First and foremost, by being great at what we do and striving to always improve.
RBPatterns digital technology in pattern making benchmarks globally. We focus on how our skills can benefit our clients throughout the manufacturing process, always thinking about new ways of working.  This can be new innovative grading techniques and MOST importantly we see our role in the sustainability of this industry is to create extremely well-fitting patterns that elevate the brands we work for which translates into consumer satisfaction.

 This is a highly skilled artform. Pattern making is not just hitting numbers, it is about giving the end user a wonderful experience of loving how they feel in clothing. This is not only an aesthetic undertaking. We keep, covet, and repair the garments we feel good in, that is the real magic.
