Watchdata Practice: Marking Strides Towards a Low-Carbon Future with “Carbon Footprint”

Every smart card’s lifecycle tells a story of green choices. Beijing Watchdata Co., Ltd. is the narrator of this story – exploring the green path for the smart card industry through continuous action and innovation.

In an era where environmental awareness is deeply rooted, companies are not just economic participants but also practitioners shaping a green future. As a key player in the smart card field, Beijing Watchdata is steadily moving forward, taking concrete actions and leaving footprints of exploration on the road to low-carbon development.

Latest Progress:

Marking Our Green Footprint with International Certification

In August 2025, Watchdata achieved a new milestone in green management – successfully obtaining product carbon footprint verification certificates for its seven major smart card product series. This provides an objective reference for assessing the environmental performance of our products and marks substantial progress in our green manufacturing and management efforts.

Scientific Approach

Full Lifecycle Carbon Footprint Management

Product carbon footprint verification is like creating a “carbon emission profile” for a product. It covers the entire process from raw material production and procurement, to manufacturing, transportation, and distribution. Supported by detailed reports from third-party agencies based on international standards, Watchdata can now more clearly identify the environmental performance of its products. This provides a scientific data foundation for subsequent green innovation and emission reduction initiatives.

Green Practices

Integrating Environmental Protection into Product Details

Watchdata’s environmental exploration is reflected in numerous aspects, from strategic planning to product design.

• Turning Ocean Waste into Green Circulation

In the payment card industry, Watchdata introduced a green bank card, providing a new eco-friendly alternative. Its card body material originates from recycled plastics collected from oceans. Compared with traditional PVC cards, this product helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its entire lifecycle. This is a concrete practice of the “from nature, back to nature” philosophy.

• Reducing the Burden on the Planet, One Card at a Time

In the telecommunications sector, Watchdata also explores feasible solutions for “reducing product volume.” Beyond promoting recycled PVC cards, the company reduces material use at the source by optimizing card body dimensions. Its launched half-cards, quarter-cards, and the patented extreme-small card, effectively lower material consumption. It helps reduce production carbon emissions and supports downstream customers in optimizing their green supply chain costs.

Looking Ahead

Together Towards a Sustainable Tomorrow

Every achievement is a new starting point for future work. Looking forward, Watchdata plans to further integrate carbon reduction targets into daily operations – across all stages from product R&D and manufacturing to supply chain management and customer service.

We look forward to working with industry partners to contribute our share towards a plastic-free, low-carbon, and sustainable future. Watchdata will continue to uphold its original commitment to green development, driven by innovation and guided by responsibility, persistently exploring the path of environmental protection.

Watchdata’s green journey continues, and we look forward to walking this path with you.

Starting with an eco-friendly card, let’s accumulate every small yet significant change together.
