New application of ocean-bound plastic

Sunnyvale, CA-based Juniper Networks, an industry leader in automated, scalable, and secure networks, has begun using protective cushioning made of 100% ocean-bound plastic.

The cushioning material is thermoformed by Reflex Packaging. That firm had been supplying Juniper with cushioning made of 100% recycled plastic for several years. But when management at Juniper heard that Reflex had been evaluating ocean-bound plastic, Reflex was asked to provide samples that could be used for shipment of Juniper’s SRX4600 Firewall Security system. After trial runs involving varying percentages of ocean-bound plastic ranging from 25% to 100%, Juniper opted for the 100% version. It represents, says Juniper Packaging Engineering Manager Brad Hannula, a serious commitment to the ultimate goal of removing material from a waste stream that pollutes our oceans.
