    Dear all,

    For many years, OnePlus is committed “to be a healthier company that endures”, insisting on implementing sustainable practices in our operations as one of the core values of the company, and fulfilling our social responsibility to make the world a better one. With the global event “Earth Day” around the corner on April 22, we want to share a bit more about what we have been doing as a company to care for environmental protection.

    In years of operation, we have:
    • Reflected the concept of environmental protection in each process of product design.
    • Conducted training and advocacy to improve corporate environmental performance.
    • Implemented strict control over hazardous materials in products.
    For more details, check out our 2019 sustainability report.

    On this remarkable Global event, the OnePlus Community team is partnering with the Red Cable Club to celebrate Earth Day. The Red Cable Club is a club that aspires to give exclusive benefits, the best of rewards, and many more privileges to its members. For more details, check out this website.

    Good to see OnePlus talking on this topic. What OnePlus is actually doing for environment is unknown, since everything is done without public attention. I just wish OnePlus does something.

    Normal consumers (majority of them) are the most ignorant people and do not worry about anything. They don't think of environment, recycling or anything. Until and unless these initiatives benefit them, they will remain ignorant. Here rises the importance of companies to stand up and ensure better environment. Solve the issues from where it originates. Since companies (manufacturers) are the major reason for environmental degradation, companies should work to ensure their products are least harmful to environment.

    Maybe everyone is disliking the fact that Apple isn't including chargers in the box. Many believe that almost everyone will otherwise buy a charger, so there is no point excluding the charger. But I am still sure, maybe 1% people won't buy the charger and save money. This concept of saving is in the germination stage. Slowly and steadily, people will stop buying chargers and start saving. This will save both money and environment. So I agree what Apple did.

    I live in Kolkata. According to various surveys, my city would be under water by 2050. This is alarming. Climate change is impacting me and my habitat. Is it impacting you?

    I would ask a general question, not for the quiz. Just a simple question from me. Is the climate change impacting you? If not, will you bother doing anything for the environment??

    Why use plastic frame on a $700 smartphone? it's neither sustainable nor premium. Why provide just 2 5G bands on Indian variants of 9 series? more 5G bands means better support in future and people would likely to use 'em over longer periods reducing e waste? Why keep wireless charging and OIS for 9t? upgrades over a short period of time makes products obsolete quicker than they're supposed to be and adds to the e-waste one way or another.

    If they're ready to answer these questions I'll fill the form :rolleyes:

    The best you guys can do is remove charger in the 10 Series just like Apple but with a more ridiculous lie :rolleyes:

    Sir I get your concern, but please know this Apple not including a charger will only impact the environment in a negative way and increase waste this has been said and demonstrated by many people, It's nothing more than corporate BS (Just like whatever this is OnePlus going to do) to make more profit.

    Corporate gives 0 fcuks about anything as long as they're making profit. The only way you can bend corporates is by strict laws Just like EU consumer laws.

    If you wanna change it.
    1. Do what you can on your own. (Buying expensive "eco friendly" stuff isn't one of 'em.)
    2. Elect better and educated representatives and force governments to form strict laws that benefits environment at earliest.

    When there was 7 months lockdown in my city the ,Air quality become excellent and I could see the stars in the sky which were mostly hidden due to air pollution! These 7 months period was like rejuvenation of environment! River water become clean , Birds were around, even some migratory birds come 1st time in my city, These month period was bad for human but excellent for nature! Industrial work was closed so no air pollution, water pollution, roads were empty so pollution by vehicle were also reduced! By 2050 the earth will be a different place ! A better one or bad one, all depends on our top industrial leaders and Politicians ! Because politicians can form rules and regulations and industrial leaders can bring alternative ways to reduce pollution! I think Electrical vehicle will do some good to environment in some ways!

    Small small steps contribute to a greener & healthier earth.
    As a Smartphone company, there is a lot to do other than removing the charger.
    Use of recyclable/reusable material
    Buyback old devices
    As a community, plantation drives for sustainability.


    Anyways filled the form.

    How about extending software support for your older devices by giving them quality updates, so that consumers aren't forced to upgrade their otherwise perfectly functioning devices every two years?

    Would be a nice place to start
