How to Shop Sustainably

We are eliminating single use packaging where we can.
Sustainable Packaging options

For online orders we will pack your order in brown paper or cellulose bags (both compostable) or you can order a jar or bottle.

How Sustainable Are We?
At Gram Sustainable, we’re more than just a food store. We’re committed to making sustainable living easier for our customers by reducing waste and driving impactful environmental initiatives. Here’s how we work to minimise our footprint and help you do the same:
🌍 Glass Containers: A Sustainable Choice
We prefer glass containers for their durability and sustainability. Glass is infinitely recyclable, doesn’t leach chemicals, and has a lower environmental impact compared to plastic. By choosing glass, we reduce the long-term waste that ends up in our environment.
🌍 Compostable Paper and Cellulose Bags
For those who need packaging, we offer biodegradable and compostable paper and cellulose bags (Natureflex) that break down naturally, leaving no waste behind. This sustainable option aligns with our zero-waste goals and keeps harmful plastics out of our ecosystems.
Our cellulose bags meet the following certifications.
🌍 Bulk Buying for Less Packaging
By buying in bulk, we dramatically cut down on packaging waste. This means fewer single-use plastics and materials that are used once and thrown away. We also return some packaging to our suppliers for reuse, creating less overall waste in the supply chain.
🌍 No Minimums: Buy What You Need
We believe in reducing waste at every step. That’s why we have no minimum purchase requirements. You can buy exactly what you need, which means no excess food going to waste in your home.
🌍 Supporting Local and Organic Suppliers
Whenever possible, we source our products from Australian local suppliers or opt for organic options. This not only supports our local economy but also reduces the environmental impact of long-distance shipping and encourages sustainable farming practices.
🌍 Partnering with Sustainable Businesses
We are passionate about working with like-minded businesses that share our sustainability ethics. Our partnerships help ensure that our products and packaging come from ethical, responsible sources that care about the planet as much as we do.
🌍 Reusing Boxes for Deliveries
Even our delivery process is focused on sustainability. We reuse boxes for our deliveries, cutting down on unnecessary packaging waste. By giving materials a second life, we help keep our waste to a minimum.
🌍 Compostable Shipping Ecolabels
We’re proud to use Ecolabels, Australia’s first industrially compostable shipping labels, in our packaging. Unlike traditional labels, these innovative stickers break down without leaving harmful residues, thanks to their special adhesive. While ideal for industrial composting, they can also be added to home compost bins—just allow a little extra time.
Together, through small yet significant actions, we’re creating a more sustainable world. At Gram Sustainable, you’re not just shopping—you’re making a positive impact.
How we CARE

Affordable
Bulk food is supposed to be affordable. We source the finest quality bulk food and offer them at supermarket prices - minus all the plastic packaging.
Sustainable
We provide home cleaning & personal care products that are grey-water safe and help protect the environment. We also encourage you to refill for extra cost saving and to reduce plastic-waste.
Packaging
This is big one for us. Microplastics are a huge environmental problem, because of this you will not find plastic packaging here. No plastic ever!
Australian
We source our products locally where possible. If we can't source locally we try to source from Australia.
Suppliers
We work with suppliers when possible that encourage return and refill packaging, and we only choose suppliers that are renowned for quality - you could say we are picky eaters when it comes to where we source our products!
Community
We work with and are always looking to work with groups that help us turn our waste into reusables, and we support up-to-date environmental causes. If you are interested in supporting sustainability, we would love to hear from you!

I recently purchased the mixed peppercorns from Gram Sustainable, and I can honestly say they exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I opened the bag, I was hit with the most incredible colour and freshness, you just don’t get that from standard supermarket varieties.
The blend itself is beautiful: a vibrant mix of black, white, green, and pink peppercorns.
What I also really appreciate is Gram Sustainable’s commitment to eco-friendly sourcing and packaging. It feels good knowing I’m supporting a company that aligns with my values around sustainability.
If you’re a fan of cooking or even just seasoning your meals well, I highly recommend trying these. You’ll taste the quality instantly.

Great products and excellent customer service.
