Cisco’s commitment to recycling is demonstrated through its adoption of the circular economy model. This approach goes beyond traditional recycling by emphasizing the reuse, refurbishment, and recycling of products and materials. Cisco’s initiatives such as the Takeback and Reuse program, and the Refresh program, exemplify this commitment. These efforts are part of Cisco’s broader strategy to minimize waste and promote sustainability, as detailed in Cisco's sustainability reports and the Cisco Environmental Sustainability resources.

The packaging for the Catalyst IR8140 Heavy Duty Router is the first solution at Cisco to use a fiber-flute material suited to protect heavier products. This innovation saves approximately 1,054 pounds of foam every year. This change not only reduces waste but also aligns with Cisco’s commitment to sustainability and reducing its environmental footprint through innovative packaging solutions. Detailed information on Cisco's packaging initiatives can be found in their environmental sustainability reports​ (Impakter)​.

Fluorinated gases and methane are two significant greenhouse gases (GHGs). Methane is a potent GHG that contributes to global warming and is a focus of many environmental sustainability efforts, including Cisco’s GHG emission reduction initiatives. Fluorinated gases, although present in smaller quantities, have a high global warming potential and are also targeted in sustainability strategies. Cisco’s commitment to reducing GHG emissions is a key part of their environmental goals, as outlined in their Net Zero Emissions strategy.

Approximately 470 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide each year. This substantial amount of plastic production underscores the importance of recycling and sustainable waste management practices to mitigate the environmental impact of plastic waste. Cisco, along with other global companies, is actively working to reduce plastic use and promote recycling as part of their broader sustainability efforts​ (EcoWatch)​​ (OECD)​​ (RubyHome)​.
