Sustainability awareness
As a subsidiary of Swatch Group SA, Renata SA operates its own button cell recycling plant (silver recycling) - once the current trial operation is completed, it will be possible to recycle an annual capacity of up to 250 million batteries. This corresponds to a processing capacity of around 26 tons of silver oxide. We are thus making an important contribution to the sustainable use of resources and the environment.
How our Recycling Facility Work
Used cells and batteries are crushed in a crusher and their basic materials and particles separated from each other. The silver oxide and other elements are then recovered in a special treatment process. The materials are either used for the production of new batteries or handed over to certified specialist companies. The chemical solutions used are processed in a fully-closed materials processing cycle and returned to the reactors.
New Silver - Oxide High Performance Line
Our newest, in - house production line is a fully automated silver oxide line. It is one of the most modern production lines in the world for Silver Oxide batteries and has many advantages.
Tissot T-Touch Connect
We developed a new, rechargeable ICR2430 cell for the new Tissot T-Touch Connect smartwatch, which only needs to be charged once every six months.
