Seiko gets the lead out
from europastar:NEWS Seiko to lead the watch industry by switching to mercury-free batteries. February 20, 2008 With its unique Spring Drive and Kinetic technology and its industry-leading initiatives in compliance with global regulations and standards, (including the EU WEEE, Nickel and RoHS Directives), Seiko has always been at the forefront of environmental actions in the watch industry.In 2007/08, Seiko will again reduce the environmental impact of its products by converting to the use of mercury-free batteries in advance of changes in button battery regulations in the world.Mercury: A dangerous element It has long been recognised that mercury is a noxious and dangerous substance and the usage of mercury batteries has been banned for many years in most countries.
