why use environmental materials for collectible watch box

This is the plate for Foudroyante. It was attached on the box of the watch but the skin of the box was peeled off because the use of environmental materials. I think a lot of watch boxes use this kind of materials. But I don't understand why watch companies use this kind of materials for those expensive collectible watches.

There is absolutely no need for such large boxes

Everyone really should think about the environment and future. Those expensive wooden boxes are completely unnecessary. A small pouch (leather perhaps) should be sufficient.
