The clock was inspired by a template ruler for technical drawing. It has a [simple, easy to read face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taoclock) that doesn't use any printed decals. Since it doesn't use print, the numbers are cut outs in the bio-plastic body. The clock is made up of three bio-plastic parts: the body, inclusive of a [clock dial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-clock) and a mechanism for holding movement. The simple construction makes for easy part replacement and an overall [eco-friendly time-teller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g5600bg5). It's clear why Yenwen named it the 'EASY' clock when he describes it as, "easy to assemble in the factory, easy to fit in with different interior styles, easy for consumers to afford, easy to replace and easy to the environment." Now, that's a lot of "easy." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Biodegradable Clocks:** The use of bio-plastic materials in clock production presents an opportunity for environmentally-friendly alternatives in the home décor industry. - **Eco-friendly Time-tellers:** The growing demand for sustainable and eco-conscious products creates a market for clocks made from biodegradable materials. - **Replacement-friendly Design:** Clocks with easily replaceable parts offer a disruptive innovation opportunity in the manufacturing and consumer goods industries. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can explore incorporating biodegradable clocks into their product offerings, catering to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Home Decor:** The home décor industry can tap into the trend of eco-friendly time-tellers by offering a range of biodegradable clocks that align with sustainable lifestyles. - **Manufacturing:** Clock manufacturers can adopt the innovative design of easily replaceable parts to enhance the sustainability and longevity of their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Plastic Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinola-detrola.md) - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Minimal Dynamic Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-desk-clock.md) - [Mechanical Digital Mesmerizing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock.md) - [Minimal Global Desk-Side Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-clock-1.md) - [Elegant Linear Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clockworks.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md)
