Detrash is a unique brand of quality watches, with straps made from recycled ocean trash, instead of leather. Designed in Dorset, 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!
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 (Rolex gives $8 to a millionaire celebrity for each one sold, instead of planetary organisations). And most watches have leather straps.
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)
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.
