Promoting green manufacturing and operations through innovation

OPPO has held onto its global position as the fourth-largest phone manufacturer for two consecutive years，with users in over 60 countries and regions worldwide. As its business grows rapidly, OPPO is equally concerned about how to reduce its environmental impact.

Among the carbon emissions generated by OPPO's various operations, factories and data centers are the two most significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 62% and 31.9% respectively. While continuing to drive commercial growth, OPPO is also exploring innovative ways to achieve greener manufacturing and business operations. 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. This is equivalent to the amount of greenhouse gas absorbed by 3,330 square kilometers of forest in a year.

Since 2020, OPPO has systematically carried out a series of energy-saving upgrades to key machinery in its factories. One such project has involved automating previously manually operated machines. Compared with manual control, the automated equipment can be set to operate precisely according to the real-time requirement, thus reducing power consumption to the bare minimum. For example, with the automation upgrades introduced to the corner cutting machines, power consumption has fallen by 54%.

In addition, OPPO is also working on the construction of carbon neutral data centers. Its first self-built data center, OPPO Binhai Bay Data Centre not only uses 100% renewable energy, but also continues to explore and apply cutting-edge, low-carbon technology. One of the key outcomes of this exploration has been the research and implementation of immersion cooling technology for GPU server clusters.

We are living in a digital era, with ever-increasing demand for data storage, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing. Thus, the power consumption of data centers and their GPU server clusters is also rising significantly. Not only does this increased power consumption present a major challenge, but we must also work out how to dissipate the heat produced as efficiently as possible. Most traditional data centers rely on mechanical equipment such as fans and air conditioners to cool the building, which in turn consumes more energy and produces higher levels of CO2.

In order to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, OPPO is deploying immersion cooling technology for GPU server clusters in its data center. Immersion cooling technology, which refers to the direct immersion of servers in a non-conductive liquid, directly draws the heat generated during operation away through the liquid, without the need for active cooling by devices such as fans and air conditioners. The liquid that has risen in temperature is cooled by circulation and then returned to continue absorbing thermal energy. The heat recovered is then put to good use in other areas such as heating and hot water provision, significantly improving the energy efficiency of the overall system. The deployment of immersion cooling technology leads to a 45% improvement in energy efficiency, and an industry-leading data center power usage efficiency (PUE) as low as 1.15.

Introducing sustainability into the product management life cycle

While constantly thinking about how to improve the user experience of its products, OPPO also aims to provide greener products. To this end, OPPO has made sustainability a key goal in the life cycle management of its products to minimize their impact on the environment.

While designing the packaging of its products, OPPO follows the internationally recognized green packaging principle of 3R+1D (reduce, reuse, recycle and degradable). In 2023, starting in the European market, nearly all plastics have been removed from the packaging of OPPO’s smartphones, making it 100% biodegradable and more eco-friendly. Approximately 45% is also made from recycled fibers, sourced from recycled wastepaper or plant-based materials (such as sugarcane and bamboo byproducts), helping to reduce the demand for raw materials.

OPPO has also made technological breakthroughs aimed at improving the durability of its products. For example, OPPO's proprietary Battery Health Engine technology can maintain 80% of the original battery capacity for up to 1600 charging cycles, significantly extending battery life.

The volume of electronic waste generated globally has grown by 21% over the past 5 years, making it the fastest growing category of household waste2. To tackle the problem of e-waste pollution, OPPO has established a number of product recycling systems and launched a trade-in service in both domestic and international markets to promote the recycling of used electronic devices. In 2021, 1.2 million phones were recycled in China, amounting to a total weight of 216 tons. This number rose to 1.3 million phones and 240 tons in 2022. In the EU and other regions, OPPO is involved in the Green Dot program as well as partnering with professional recycling firms to help recycle used products.

随着数字时代的发展，数据存储、人工智能计算的需求也日益提升。为此，服务器集群的功耗也不断提升。这不仅需要更多电力，如何有效散热也是一个重大挑战。传统的数据中心主要依靠风扇、空调等机械设备进行制冷散热，这又产生了更多的能耗和碳排。为了提升能源利用效率，降低碳排，OPPO积极研究和部署浸没式液冷GPU服务器集群。浸没液冷技术，是指将服务器直接浸泡在不导电的液体中，直接将运转过程中产生的的热能传导给液体，不需要风扇、空调等主动式冷却的机械设备。温度上升的液体通过循环冷却的方式，再回流继续吸收热能，回收的热能还能继续用于供暖、生活热水提供等场景，极大地提高了能源的利用效率。浸没液冷设备的节能尝试初见成效，节能效果提升了45%，数据中心电源使用效率（PUE）低至1.15，处于行业领先水平。

在不断思考如何给用户带来更极致的产品体验的同时，OPPO也希望用户能切实地使用上更绿色的产品。为此，OPPO把可持续发展理念融入产品全生命周期管理，最大程度降低对环境的影响。

在产品包装材料的选择上，OPPO依照国际绿色包装3R+1D为设计原则，在包装设计中使包装减量化、可回收、可循环、可降解。2023年从欧洲市场开始，OPPO手机彩盒塑料包装几乎完全清除，实现手机产品包装100%可自然降解，并在彩盒中使用了45%的再生纤维材料，这些材料来自被回收的废纸或植物，如竹子和甘蔗的残渣，通过资源重复利用减少原材料的消耗。

为了延长产品的生命周期，OPPO也在技术上实现了很多新突破。例如，OPPO自研的电池健康引擎技术，最高能达到循环充放1600次后电池容量仍能保持80%的剩余容量，两倍于行业标准，大幅提升电池使用寿命。

全球电子废弃物在过去5年内增长21%，是全球增长最快的家庭垃圾，为应对电子垃圾污染的问题，OPPO建立了完整的一套产品回收体系，在国内外市场开展以旧换新业务，推动旧手机的回收和再利用。2021年，国内市场手机回收量达到120万台，回收产品重量达216吨。2022年，旧手机回收业务持续增长，国内市场手机回收量达到130万台，回收产品重量达240吨。在欧盟和其他地区，OPPO废弃包装的“绿点”回收体系，与专业的第三方回收公司进行合作进行电子垃圾回收。
