History of the MiiR Brand

MiiR makes premium stainless steel vessels for coffee, beer, wine, and food. The most popular MiiR drinkware includes MiiR tumblers, water bottles, and MiiR camp cups. But their brand does so much more than produce high-quality drinkware. Here’s their origin story:  

• A Broken Femur and a Bright Idea: It all began on the ski slopes. MiiR’s founder and CEO, Bryan Papé, had a bad ski accident that could have been fatal. His femur bone broke in half, which could have disrupted the femoral artery, but luckily, did not. In the moments after the crash, not sure how or if he would make it out, he realized he hadn’t done what he wanted to do in his life. He realized he wanted to do more for others and for the world. So he did. Papé started MiiR with his wife, Rebecca Papé, in 2009.
• Work When It Works (+ World Travel): The company is based in Seattle and encourages employees to work from home, work remotely, work while traveling the world, and come into the office when they need to. The couple believes world travel results in empathy, connection, and community.
• Giving, Giving & Giving: Since day one, their company has included generous giving, and not giving as a percentage of profit, but giving as a percentage of revenue. Even during their first five years in business, when they were not yet a profitable company, they gave back. Their giving is woven into the fabric of the business culture and the business plan, not merely an add-on based upon “extra”. They set aside a portion of revenue to fund projects focused on clean water, a healthy environment, and strong communities. Every MiiR product sold helps fund nonprofit organizations that work to empower communities, while investing in the health of our natural environments.

What We Love Most About the MiiR Brand

Let’s look a little closer at the things that matter most to MiiR—the reasons why MiiR drinkware is more than just a vessel—each MiiR product makes a statement about health, community, and caring.  

Giving Back: We’ll Drink to That!

• Generosity Driven: With design, generosity and sustainability at its core, MiiR adamantly and actively contributes to the flourishing of people and planet. Each year, they invest a portion of top-line revenue into trusted nonprofit organizations who work to uplift communities while benefiting the health of the natural environments. To date, MiiR has given over $3.8 million, empowering over 200 organizations working across 26 countries. And every day they work on new ideas and innovations to keep MiiR moving forward and growing. The more they grow, the more they give.
• Climate Neutral: MiiR is a Climate Neutral Certified brand, which means that they commit to measuring and offsetting 100% of their carbon footprint every year, while working to reduce emissions across the supply chain.
• B Corp: Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. In 2021, MiiR made a “Net Zero by 2030” commitment that the activities within their value chain will result in no net impact on the climate from greenhouse gas emissions.
• 1% for The Planet: MiiR is part of 1% for the Planet, a global network of businesses, nonprofits, and individuals working together for a healthy planet. MiiR is unique in that they give more than 1% of revenue to community-led environmental organizations.
• Evergreen: As a certified Evergreen® business, MiiR is part of a group of purpose-driven leaders with the grit and resourcefulness to build market-leading businesses that make a dent in the universe. To become Certified Evergreen®, MiiR went through an extensive, rigorous assessment with the intention of continual improvement and enduring excellence around values, practices, and people.
