Detrash Watches (from recycled ocean trash)

Detrash is a unique brand of quality watches, with straps made from recycled ocean trash, instead of leather. Designed in Dorset (England), a portion of proceeds go to organisations like Surfers Against Sewage, to help restore our oceans. Ghost fishing waste is a huge issue, so removing it to make watches, is a great idea!

Recycle watch batteries (choking hazards) at jewellers.

Send broken and unused watches (and other jewellery) to Animals Asia, where the metal is used to raise cash for its work to help bears and other creatures abroad.

The company founder is an entrepreneur, who after selling his previous business, noticed that while most industries are trying to do something more ethical, the watch industry isn’t.

These watches are sold with a 1-year guarantee, in unique designs. Many are made with recycled steel, and water-resistant. The range includes a California dial mix (Arabic & Roman numerals).

Designers focus on clean faces, bold colours, and light frames. Cases and straps often come in blues, greens, and greys inspired by the sea.
