How to Shop Sustainably
We are eliminating single use packaging where we can. We believe to do this, you should have the option to choose what works best for you. Here's how it works:
Sustainable Packaging options
🍃 BIODEGRADABLE AND COMPOSTABLE PAPER OR CELLULOSE BAGS OR A NEW BOTTLE OR JAR
For online orders we will pack your order in brown paper or cellulose bags (both compostable) or you can order a jar or bottle.
🍃 BOTTLE OR JAR REFILL OR EXCHANGE
To participate in the bottle or jar exchange, you must have purchased a Gram bottle (buy here). This allows you to exchange it on your next order. We will collect your empty bottle, sanitise it, and reuse it.
Note: Only Gram bottles are eligible for exchange.
🍃 PICK UP AND RETURN
Have us pick up and return your own containers for reuse. if you would like us to pick up your non-gram containers , please make sure your total order reaches a minimum of $100 to qualify for this service.
By choosing our refill service, you're reducing single-use plastic and contributing to a greener future. We're committed to making sustainable living easier for everyone.
Thank you for being part of the Gram Sustainable community. We're here to help if you need us 💬
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:
🌍 Exchange System for Perishables
We offer a unique exchange system for perishables like milks and juices. You can return your bottles to us, and we’ll sterilise them for reuse. This reduces the need for single-use plastic bottles and helps us build a more circular economy, where materials are reused rather than discarded.
🌍 Pick Up, Refill, and Return System
We offer a convenient pick-up, refill, and return system. Simply order online select "please collect refill and return my container" and we will pick these up, refill them for you and return. It’s a hassle-free way to enjoy the benefits of bulk shopping without the extra work. Please allow a little extra time for this service.

🌍 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.
We would like to give a shout out to these stand out businesses that go above and beyond to encourage circular economy and sustainable practice:
🌍 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.
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!

Let customers speak for us
from 30 reviewsGreat fresh product loving it for bread
Have been buying these for last couple of years and have always found they are top quality at Gram
Best ever will never buy from anyone else
We have done a first use with this moth spray and awaiting results. Even now there seems to be fewer moths in the pantry area. We love the smell and the moths don't seem to. Win win.
Big , juicy ,Ozzie prunes .I will order again.
The pears are delicious dried or re constituted
They were wonderful - not too dry, not too chewy - just right!
I’m am very happy with the crystallised ginger. Great customer service and quick delivery. I recommend the product and company.
These are delicious. There was a hiccup with the packaging with the first batch we ordered but the team were great. Great customer support, the issue was worked out and a second batch was sent and it was great. Ordering from here worked out a lot cheaper than iherb Quinn brand it tasted exactly the same if not better. I recommend this company and definitely the yummy, crunchy, salty peanut butter pretzels.
Would have loved it in a glass jar. Like the product
Great quality products, fast delivery and packaged well, without plastic, which is great. Happy all round, thanks!
Undoubtedly the best Yoghurt that I have had in last 10 years of living in Australia : )
Thank you for all the work and Love that you put into our community and health 🙏🏾💚
So grateful
I love that the moisturiser comes in a glass jar - it’s so easy to apply - and then I reuse the jar for my chutneys and preserved lemons. Truly sustainable and eco☺️
