MADE WITH 20%+ PLANT BY-PRODUCT — Did you know? The rice husk, or hull, is the protective coating on a rice seed that protects the grain during the growing season. The hull is removed during harvesting and considered a by-product, often used for non-nutritional feed filler or, worse, burned. Using local sources, we've incorporated this natural waste into our product's plastic. The Eco Edition timers are created with at least 20% natural plant materials and maintain strength and durability while using less plastic. 

DESIGNED WITH INTENT — By combining rice husk by-products with our plastic and eliminating unnecessary parts, we have reduced overall plastic usage by nearly half.* (Compared to similarly sized visual timers.)

BUILT FOR LONGEVITY — If you've been a Time Timer® fan for a while, you may recognize the open-face design. By eliminating the lens in the ECO Edition, we were not only able to further reduce plastic usage, but it also allows for simplified disk repairability, therefore giving it the opportunity for a longer lifecycle.

SAME RESEARCH PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS — Time Timer® visual timers have been research-proven to increase focus and lessen anxiety in all ages and abilities. As time passes, the colored disk gets smaller, making it simple for everyone to know how much time is left. A slot in the top of the timer allows up to 2 Time Timer® Dry Erase Activity Cards (sold separately) to sit atop for time to task management and first/then activities.

1% GIVEBACK PROGRAM — 1% of the Time Timer® RETRO - Eco Edition sales will go to the Time Timer® Making Time for Trees Initiative – our program committed to planting more trees and offsetting our carbon footprint.

NO LOUD TICKING — Perfect for sound-sensitive environments and classrooms. The Time Timer operates completely silent with an optional alert at the end of the time.

Intuitive Assistive Tech® — Time Timer® believes in creating products that truly help people of all ages and abilities conquer time — in the classroom, at home, and in the workplace. While time can be a challenge for differently abled people, we aim to provide intuitive and innovative solutions that make a real difference.

*45%+ less weight in plastic compared to similarly sized visual timer products

    Beautiful and incredibly helpful

    Love this time timer. I had a time timer in my classroom over 12 years ago. Now I got this one to use at home for both my own productivity and my children's time management. I love the eco plastic option and the green is a beautiful dark neutral green. Perfect for keeping out!

    Broke almost immediately :(

    It’s cute, and I wish we had more of a chance to try it out. It broke maybe after only the 2nd time using it. Being an overwhelmed mom, I missed my opportunity to return it. :(

    cute, but flimsy legs

    I really like the look of this timer, and I have it hanging on my wall, but partly because one of its little folding feet snapped off on day 2 of using it :(

    We’re so glad you like the look of your Time Timer® RETRO Eco Edition, but we’re truly sorry to hear about the issue with the folding foot. The Eco Edition is made with at least 20% plant-based eco-plastic. While this helps reduce environmental impact, it can be a bit more brittle than traditional plastics. This still should not have happened, and we want to make it right.

    Our support team would be happy to help with this issue. Please reach out to support@timetimer.com.

    Thank you for your feedback! It helps us improve and ensures we can continue creating products that help make every moment count.

    Excellent timer for the classroom

    My teaching partner and I both use the Time Timer to keep our first graders on track! The design is stylish, but not distracting. The timer itself is simple to use, and the beep is just the right volume. My favorite feature is that the beeping alarm turns itself off after a few seconds, so I don't have to rush over from the other side of the room.

    Great visual aid for our preschooler

    Our Time Timer has become a staple in our preschooler’s morning routine, helping her to clearly see how much time she has left to get ready. Prior to the Time Timer, it often took us an hour plus to get through her morning routine, but now we are to consistently do it in 30 minutes or less!
