Watches Made Of Environmentally Friendly Materials

If green is a choice to express an environmental protection stand; then, the watch industry's concern for environmental protection is specifically reflected in the various materials of the watch. As we all know, whether it is the metal used in watch cases and parts, or the synthetic leather often used in watch bands, like most industries, it is unavoidable to produce carbon emissions and various wastes in the production process. And how to minimize the harm they cause to the environment is what brands have been working hard to do.

One of the important categories is recyclable recycled materials, using innovative resource recycling technology, and even marine debris can be made into watch parts, straps, etc. For example, in October 2020, Ulysse Nardin’s new R-STRAP watch band is made from recycled fishing nets, which are one of the main sources of ocean plastic pollution. The recycled plastic strap of the Oris 65-year replica diver's watch is processed from recycled plastic. According to statistics, every kilogram of recycled plastic used is equivalent to a reduction of 3 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions.

There are more applications of sustainable materials that will open your mind. For example, natural fruit flax has created a material for the watch case to replace carbon fiber under the play of the material black technology Hublot replica watches; and in September 2020, Swatch officially announced the use of environmentally friendly biological materials to replace all traditional materials. In the past six months, many actions have been launched, but compared to the full application of biodegradable materials in packaging, the full application of environmentally friendly materials such as plant-based ceramics in mass-produced watches is obviously more exciting.
