About us
It’s in our nature
Our mission is to restore the connection between people, products, and nature.
At Miron, we believe packaging should do more than contain a product. It should protect integrity, preserve quality and reflect the care behind what is inside.
For years, we’ve teamed up with brands in wellness, beauty, nutrition, and natural health. Together, we create premium packaging that blends function with stylish design.
Miron is famous for its violet glass. This glass protects natural formulations from harmful light. Our sister company, Calaso, offers premium closures and packaging. Together, we ensure a precise and consistent experience.
We help brands design packaging that keeps products safe and boosts their unique identity.

About the role
What you’ll do
We seek a Sustainability Manager ready to build. Our program has solid foundations in reusability and product longevity. We hold active certifications like EcoVadis and are working towards B-Corp. We adjust as regulations and customer needs change. We focus on structure, reporting, and sharing our efforts. This role will guide our future direction.
You will work across Miron and our sister brand Calaso, operating globally. You will report directly to the CEO and collaborate closely with almost every team in the business, from Marketing and Sales to Procurement, Product Development, and Logistics.
You define the sustainability vision for Miron and Calaso and turn it into a practical roadmap with clear milestones. You set SMART targets across emissions, waste, and resource use. You own the program.
You structure our sustainability reporting, from internal dashboards to external disclosures. You keep us ahead of CSRD and PPWR requirements. You maintain ISO 14001 and EcoVadis and assess where additional certifications make sense.
You lead life cycle analyses and develop impact assessments for our product range. You work with Procurement to set supplier standards and collect verified data on carbon footprint, recycled content, and renewable energy use.
You collaborate with Marketing to substantiate every sustainability claim we make, publicly and to customers. No greenwashing. You develop product-level sustainability datasheets and support the Sales team in answering detailed customer inquiries.
You build awareness and embed sustainability thinking across the business. That means working with Sales on how to answer customer questions about PPWR compliance, supporting Marketing in positioning Miron as a credible sustainable choice, advising the MT on both near-term priorities and the long-term direction over the next decade, collaborating with Product Development on what sustainability criteria new products need to meet, and exploring what can be improved in logistics. You are the internal expert people turn to when sustainability questions come up, and the person who helps translate those questions into clear, actionable answers.

Get to know us
Miron is a specialist manufacturer of violet glass packaging, operating globally across beauty, wellness, nutrition, and food.
Our glass filters light in a precise way: it blocks most wavelengths that cause oxidation and degradation, while allowing a narrow band of violet, UVA, and infrared light to pass through. The result is longer shelf life, less waste, and packaging that plays an active role in protecting what is inside.
We are a founder-led company based in Hoogeveen, Netherlands, with a team that takes the mission seriously and a product that speaks for itself.
Calaso is our sister brand and a global glass packaging partner. Where Miron specializes in violet glass, Calaso offers a broad range of glass types across bottles, jars, and closures. Both brands serve B2B customers worldwide and share the same production standards and a belief that glass is the right choice for brands that care about what is inside.
