Swiss luxury watchmaker Ulysse Nardin has launched its latest concept timepiece, Diver Net, crafted from recyclable materials procured from the ocean. The watch case and its middle, back and bezel features upcycled details, engineered with the help of Fil & Fab, a France-based recycling and design studio which recovers fishnets from harbours and recycled them into polyamide pellets. The watch also features a strap made in association with Swiss company Tide, from a material crafted from PET plastic recovered from the sea.

Think about how many different pieces of technology the average household has purchased in the last decade. Phones, TVs, computers, tablets, and game consoles don’t last forever, and repairing them is difficult and often as expensive as simply buying a replacement. Electronics are integral to modern society, but electronic waste (e-waste) presents a complex and growing challenge in the path toward a circular economy–a more sustainable economic system that focuses on recycling materials and minimizing waste. Adding to the global waste challenge is the prevalence of dishonest recycling practices by companies who claim to be recycling electronics but actually dispose of them by other means, such as in landfills or shipping the waste to other countries.
