Alison Jose is the Director of The Sustainable Textile Supply Chain and The Circular Centre, Australia’s leading Circular Textile Waste Service.

With years of extraordinary research Alison researched and built relationships with Makers and Artisans in India and across the globe who value sustainable and ethical textiles, while supporting the environment and their employees.


She cares passionately for the future of our shared environment, using her extensive and versatile career knowledge in public relations and marketing, event coordination, and fine art curation to create businesses which aim to “be the change you wish to see in the world”. - Mahatma Gandhi

Originally from the rural NSW City, Orange, Alison has always held a powerful connection to the hard-working people of the land. However it was during her first trip to India in 2008, that Alison became connected to the country and its people. Alison and her husband from Kerala, now share an Indian-Australian, eco-warrior son named Watson and stay closely connected to their Indian family.


Alison and her talented, close-knit STSC team have worked closely with mills in India, Indonesia, Hong Kong and China to develop entirely new and innovative Fabric Blends and GSM’s which we believe will change the world.

The Sustainable Textile Supply Chain was born to share knowledge, encourage and inspire designers to collaboratively embrace the exponential shift towards sustainable eco-products. Alison and her team aim to build larger sustainable and ethical supply chains which support Indian communities, farming families and traditional Artisans who hold remarkable knowledge, experience and passion for making textiles to the highest level of sustainability.
