Sustainability at Juniper
Juniper — the name of an evergreen tree known for resilience and adaptability.
Inspired by the plant’s enduring nature, Juniper manufactures American-made lighting products that embody sustainability — creating durable, thoughtful solutions that prioritize recyclability, rejuvenation, and renewal.
Here is what sustainability means at Juniper:
Quality and Longevity
Sustainability is built into our products through exceptional quality and longevity. Designed to endure, they reduce the need for frequent replacements and have an expected lifespan exceeding 100,000 hours—equivalent to over 30 years with daily use of eight hours.
To further support product lifespan, we offer comprehensive after-sales services, including repairs and refurbishments, ensuring continued performance over time.
Our modular approach also simplifies maintenance, making it easier to extend the life of products already in use. By integrating durability with serviceability, we reinforce the connection between sustainability and functionality.
American-Made Lighting
Juniper manufactures its products domestically at our Connecticut factory, sourcing aluminum extrusions from within the United States to produce high-quality, American-made lighting. By manufacturing in the Northeast—closer to major markets—we reduce fuel consumption and associated emissions.
Key sustainability benefits of our domestic manufacturing and sourcing practices include:
Stronger environmental standards – U.S. regulations ensure responsible energy use, waste management, and resource conservation.
Reduced transportation impact – Our in-house manufacturing minimizes inventory storage and aligns with our modular design philosophy, limiting emissions by transporting only essential raw materials—brass and aluminum—in a high-density state.
Circular Economy and Waste Reduction
Juniper integrates sustainability throughout a product’s lifecycle, from material selection to end-of-life recycling:
Durable Materials – We use brass and aluminum for their longevity, ease of repair, and recyclability.
Efficient Design – Optimized heat dissipation extends LED lifespan, ensuring long-term performance.
Manufacturing Waste Reduction – Defective parts are reclaimed, refinished, and reintroduced into production, minimizing waste.
Optimized Logistics – Our modular design philosophy reduces transportation volume and shipping emissions.

Low-VOC Finishes
Juniper’s digitally color-matched, high-performance product coatings are designed for extended longevity, while maintaining low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions to minimize environmental impact.
Modular, Recyclable, Compostable Packaging
Juniper’s innovative modular designs reduce material use and simplify disassembly, enabling efficient component reuse. This philosophy extends to our packaging, which prioritizes recyclability, compostability, and resource conservation.
Key features of our sustainable packaging solutions include:
Resource conservation and emissions Reduction: Our packaging minimizes resource consumption, lowers carbon emissions, and supports eco-friendly disposal methods, collectively reducing our environmental footprint.
Recycled and recyclable materials: We utilize Kraft corrugated and pulp mold packaging made from recycled materials, decreasing reliance on virgin resources while diverting waste from landfills.
Compostable bio-derived films: Our biodegradable plastic films decompose naturally, enriching the soil without leaving harmful residues, further supporting sustainable practices.
At Juniper, we create durable, thoughtful, and sustainable interior lighting that blends aesthetics, function, and innovation—delivering long-lasting illumination without compromise.
