Goal 1

Core Business
By 2026, we recover 80 % of our rubber waste to recycle and incorporate it into our products.*
* Rubber accounts for 75 % of the raw materials injected at BIWI. The introduction of waste recovery will reduce our waste by 7t in 2026, compared with a total of 10t in 2020. Typical waste: unvulcanised rubber (raw material scrap), vulcanised rubber (reject parts), partially vulcanised rubber (sprues & injection channels).

Goal 2

Core Business
By 2024, 80 % of the plastic products offered to customers is biosourced or recycled.*
* Biosourced: Derived from biomass, through an eco-responsible process). Plastics account for 20% of the raw materials injected at BIWI. In 2021, BIWI developed biosourced or recycled technical materials that can meet watchmaking specifications and are systematically offered to customers when the technical criteria can be met.

Goal 3
