SUSTAINABLE + PROTECTIVE PACKAGING
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of sustainable and eco-friendly packaging. At Organic Merchant, we choose packaging that reflects our commitment to sustainability while helping protect the quality of what goes inside. MIRON glass jars are made from a distinctive violet glass designed to filter light and help slow light-induced degradation, making it particularly suited to natural products that are sensitive to light. The jars can also be reused and the glass is fully recyclable.

Distinctive violet colour
MIRON glass is characterised by its deep violet colour. Unlike a coating or film applied to the surface, the colour is an intrinsic part of the glass itself. This gives MIRON its distinctive appearance as well as its light-filtering properties.
Light protection
One of the most notable features of MIRON glass is its ability to selectively filter light. Rather than allowing the full visible spectrum to reach the contents, the glass reduces the wavelengths that can contribute to light-induced degradation while allowing a controlled range of light through. This creates a more protected storage environment for light-sensitive natural products.
Preservation
Light exposure can affect the colour, aroma and composition of natural products over time. By filtering the light that contributes to these changes, MIRON glass can help slow degradation and support the stability and quality of its contents. The results will vary depending on the product itself and its storage conditions.
Reusable + recyclable
MIRON glass is made to be used more than once. Its robust construction makes it suitable for refilling and reuse around the home, while the glass itself is 100% recyclable. Reuse is encouraged wherever practical before recycling at the end of its useful life.
Versatility
The wide-neck Saturn jars are suitable for a range of natural products, including loose leaf tea, herbs, spices, powders, botanical blends, supplements and other dry products. The generous opening also makes the jars easy to fill and access.
Use
MIRON glass jars are particularly well suited to natural products that benefit from protection from light during storage. Use them for loose leaf organic teas, herbs, spices, powders, botanical blends and other dry ingredients.
For loose leaf tea, the container is only one part of good storage. Tea also benefits from an airtight seal, a cool and dry location and protection from heat, moisture and strong odours. Read our guide to how to store loose leaf tea for more practical advice on keeping your tea fresh.
Care
Wash the jar before first use and allow it to dry completely before filling. Keep the inside dry and avoid introducing moisture when adding contents. Handle the glass with care and keep the jar away from unnecessary heat and sudden temperature changes.
The violet colour and light-filtering properties are part of the glass itself, rather than a surface coating, so they do not wear away through normal cleaning or reuse.
MIRON Violetglass is a distinctive violet glass designed to manage how light reaches the contents inside. Its selective light-filtering properties help create more stable storage conditions for natural products that are sensitive to light.
MIRON glass filters the visible light spectrum while allowing specific UV and infrared frequencies to pass through. This reduces exposure to wavelengths that can contribute to light-induced degradation and can help maintain the quality of sensitive natural products for longer.
The wide-neck Saturn jars are suitable for many natural products, including loose leaf tea, herbs, spices, powders, botanical blends, supplements and other dry formulations. The 1000 ml size can also accommodate larger-volume products such as coffee or honey.
The main difference is capacity and physical size. The 400 ml jar has a 70/400 thread, measures 133 mm high and 76 mm in diameter. The 1000 ml jar has an 89/400 thread, measures 193 mm high and 95 mm in diameter. Both are Saturn wide-neck jars made from MIRON Violetglass.
Yes. MIRON glass is robust and designed to be reused. Once you have finished with the original contents, the jar can be washed, dried and used again for suitable storage.
Yes. MIRON states that its violet glass is 100% recyclable. Recycling arrangements differ between countries and local councils, so check your local recycling guidelines for the correct disposal method.
MIRON and amber glass both provide protection from light, but they do so differently. Amber glass filters light broadly, while MIRON is designed to selectively filter the visible spectrum and allow specific wavelengths through. The choice of packaging ultimately depends on the product and the storage conditions required.
MIRON glass can help slow light-induced degradation, which may support a longer shelf life for light-sensitive products. However, there is no single shelf-life extension that applies to every product. Formulation, exposure to air and moisture, temperature, storage conditions and other factors all play a role.
