OPPO's logo is green, whether that's intentional or not is debatable, but this color is automatically associated with sustainability. Therefore, OPPO created a three-point plan to ensure consistent use and later recycling throughout the entire product life cycle.

Furthermore, it is one of the first companies to join the industry-wide sustainability initiative and give its products an "Eco-Rating". This was launched by leading European mobile operators to raise awareness of smartphone repairability, environmental compatibility and durability before purchase.

When it comes to plastic, OPPO follows the internationally recognized “3R + 1D” principles. Among other things, the weight of the packaging has been reduced and the use of plastic has also been avoided. According to OPPO, they prefer to use biodegradable materials. Compared to 2019, OPPO has reduced the amount of plastic in smartphone packaging by 95 percent.

OPPO has developed a “Battery Health Engine” for the batteries. This ensures a very high battery capacity of 1.600 percent even after more than 80 charging and discharging cycles.

Recycling is a top priority at OPPO

The manufacturer has already introduced a recycling system in many other countries to encourage the reuse of used smartphones. In China alone, 1,2 million devices have been recycled in this way, avoiding 216 tons of electronic waste. OPPO also supports local recycling systems in the EU and other markets with financial resources. The company also participates in the Green Dot program, which deals with packaging waste and works with professionals in this field.
