About Grounded Goods: Australian Made Sustainable Solutions
Leading the Way in Reusable, Circular Economy Products with Eco-friendly, Australian Reusables eliminating single-use plastic waste.
About US
At Grounded Goods, we aim to eliminate single-use plastics by creating high-quality, Australian-made reusable products that make a real difference. As a B-Corp-certified business, we design and manufacture eco-friendly cups, containers, and returnable packaging solutions to help companies, councils, and individuals reduce waste and embrace a circular economy.
We believe in beautiful and practical design and corporate transparency. This translates into every aspect of our business. We actively minimise the negative impacts of our operations and manufacturing.
Who We Are
Grounded Goods is an Australian-owned, female-led company built on a passion for sustainability. We believe businesses shouldn't have to choose between quality, sustainability, and affordability—so we make sure our products deliver on all three.
We're replacing disposable packaging with high-quality, sustainable alternatives that reduce landfill waste and promote reuse. Every item we create is durable, reusable, and locally made, supporting a true closed-loop system that keeps valuable materials in use and out of landfill.
Since 2016, Felicity Ford & Claudine Fessey have proudly offered exceptional service through Australian design and manufacturing, providing innovative and circular product lines. All of our products are locally designed and manufactured in Australia, staying within a 25 km radius.

Our Commitment to the Planet
We care deeply about the environment, which is why we prioritise sustainable materials and ethical manufacturing processes. From the high-quality, BPA and BPS-free Tritan used in our coffee cups and water bottles to our 100% recycled Australian-made packaging, every decision we make is with the planet in mind. Our reusable systems also help companies implement effective waste minimization programs, reducing the need for single-use plastics and making it easy to adopt reusables. -
Our Australian-Made Products
At Grounded Goods, we take pride in producing 100% Australian-made products, from design to manufacturing, all within a close local radius. By operating within Australia, we maintain strict control over our supply chain, ensuring sustainability, ethical practices, and local job creation, particularly for women from refugee backgrounds. Our products are not only functional and beautifully designed but also manufactured with the highest environmental and health standards in mind. -
Locally Sourced, Thoughtfully Designed
Every product we create is born from a dedication to reducing waste. Our innovative Uppercup features a double-wall design, keeping your coffee hot and your fingers cool. It's made with minimal components that are easy to replace or recycle, meaning you can extend the life of your products and reduce the need for new resources. We offer replacement parts to make sure your investment is long-lasting and sustainable.
