Forgive my ignorance, what is mil-plastic?


In this case, olive color and ribs.


Marketing term. Real ruggedized items use terms such as "IP68" or "MIL-STD 810G".[1]

It probably means military since the way it looks does make you think of military equipment and he mentions pelican cases as well. I don't think he means military spec though, to be clear.
