Myco-Loop™ | Miron Glass Recycling Program

Myco-Loop™

Miron Glass Recycling Program

Myco-Loop is our closed-loop glass return system.
It exists to keep high-quality Miron violet glass in circulation, reduce waste, and lower the environmental cost of packaging functional extracts.

Miron glass is not disposable.
This program ensures it lives multiple lives.

🌱 Why We Do This

Miron violet glass:

  • Preserves sensitive compounds

  • Requires significant energy to manufacture

  • Is designed for reuse, not landfill disposal

By returning your bottles, you help:

  • Reduce packaging waste

  • Lower carbon and energy use

  • Keep premium materials in circulation

  • Support regenerative production instead of disposability

This is material stewardship, not marketing.

♻️ How Myco-Loop Works

Tier 1 — Community Return

Return 5 bottles → Get 10% off your next order

  • Customer ships bottles back at their own cost

  • After inspection, a 10% off discount code is issued

Tier 2 — Steward Return

Return 10 bottles → Free return label + Private Reserve access

  • We provide a free return shipping label

  • You unlock one-time access to MycoSymbiotics Private Reserve extracts plus 10% off

  • Private Reserve access applies to one order

This tier is designed for committed participants who are actively closing the loop.

🧪 What Happens to Returned Bottles?

Returned bottles that pass inspection are:

  • Cleaned and sanitized

  • Logged as reclaimed materials

Bottles that do not meet standards are responsibly discarded.

📊 Impact & Transparency

We track:
