In 2022, OPPO integrated the greening concept into its smartphone packaging by using nearly 100% biodegradable materials and 45% recycled fibers, starting from the European market.
E-waste recycling has long been an important part of OPPO's product lifestyle management. In 2022, 1.08 million phones were recycled in China, amounting to a total weight of 195 tons.

The low-carbon development roadmap has also led to OPPO's green operation in manufacturing facilities, offices, and data centers. Through energy saving and emission reduction initiatives, by the end of 2022, OPPO has managed to reduce 6000 tons of greenhouse gas emission from its operation each year.
