Stainless Steel Collection
MiiR single wall and vacuum insulated drinkware products are constructed of premium, 18/8 (18% chromium, 8% nickel) medical grade stainless steel.
With the exception of products offered in natural stainless steel, all MiiR products are finished with a durable nontoxic Hardshell™ powder coating to protect and preserve your product’s appearance.
Lids
Our bottle lids are made of BPA free polypropylene #5, and our press fit lids are made of Eastman Tritan™. Both of these plastics have been tested and neither are known to leach harmful chemicals or present health risks. They carry no bisphenols (BPA, BPS, etc.), per-and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), estrogenic activity (EA or estrogen leaching) or androgenic activity (AA or testosterone leaching).
Everywhere Collection
Our Everywhere Collection is made from Tritan Renew. It is a BPA free copolyester polymer that uses 50% recycled plastic material. Tritan Renew offers the same level of durability and shatter-resistance as standard Tritan. It boasts an elegant, glass-like clarity and is resistant odor and stains, leaving no residual taste.
The Everywhere Bottle Lid and Tether are made from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled BPA free polypropylene #5.
All MiiR Drinkware Is Lead Safe
To meet this requirement, MiiR drinkware is frequently tested at a 3rd party accredited lab by COE Resolution CM/RES(2013)9. When MiiR drinkware is tested, lead is not detected. The limit of detection is < 0.002 mg/kg (ppm).
Restricted Substance List:
At MiiR, we are committed to creating the safest and highest-performing products for our customers and ensuring the well-being of factory workers worldwide. As part of this commitment, we have established our Restricted Substances List (RSL), which outlines the chemical restrictions applicable to all materials, components, products, and packaging used in the manufacturing of MiiR goods.
This RSL also details the responsibilities of MiiR’s suppliers. It applies to all materials used in production or incorporated into MiiR products, whether specified by our product team or selected by our factories.
Priority Chemicals (High Risk)
While many chemicals referenced in our Restricted Substances List (RSL) are regulated by governments and standards organizations, we believe certain high-priority chemicals require even greater caution. As part of our commitment to safety and sustainability, MiiR has voluntarily chosen to eliminate the following chemicals from our products and manufacturing processes, going beyond regulatory requirements.
Bisphenols – BPA / BPS / BPF
MiiR strictly prohibits the use of any bisphenol substances in our products or in the factories that produce them. To ensure compliance, we conduct regular testing to confirm that these chemicals are never introduced into our products.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
MiiR has eliminated PVC from all products due to its well-documented risks to both human health and the environment, particularly during manufacturing.
Long-Chain Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS or PFC)
MiiR prohibits the use of treatments containing long chain perfluoroalkyl substances, including PFOS, PFOA, and other compounds with 8 or more carbon atoms.
Phthalates
Phthalates are harmful chemicals with significant health and environmental risks. By removing them from our products, MiiR demonstrates its commitment to safety, sustainability, and innovation. We continue to explore safer alternatives and strive to create products that align with our values and the expectations of our customers.
Poly Aromatic Amines (PAA)
Polyaromatic Amines (PAAs) are chemical compounds used in dyes, pigments, and polymers, but they pose significant health and environmental risks. Some PAAs are carcinogenic, can cause skin sensitization, and are toxic to organs, while their persistence in the environmentleads to long-term contamination and bioaccumulation. At MiiR, we have eliminated PAAs from our products to prioritize safety, sustainability, and consumer trust. By going beyond regulatory requirements, we ensure our products are free from harmful chemicals, reduce environmental impact, and uphold our commitment to creating safe, high-quality items for our customers and the planet.
