OPPO aims to go carbon neutral by 2050

Every April 22, people around the world stop to think about the planet. That day is Earth Day. This year, the tech company OPPO is using the date to talk about its own environmental promises. OPPO makes phones and other gadgets for more than 760 million people across 90 countries. The company has promised to bring its carbon emissions down to zero by 2050. That means its entire operations, from offices to factories, would stop adding to climate change. One of the biggest changes is in the packaging. OPPO used to put a lot of paper guides inside its product boxes. Now the company is moving that information online. In 2025 alone, this switch saved about 110 million sheets of A4 paper. To put that in perspective, that is like saving 13,000 mature trees. It also cut carbon emissions by roughly 3,500 tons. The company is also changing the materials it uses. Instead of relying only on petroleum based plastics, OPPO now mixes in natural waste like tea residue. These green materials repla...
