Eco-friendly materials
Safe materials
State-of-the-art testing capabilities
Renewable materials
Eco-friendly plasticsHuawei has established a hazardous substance management system in accordance with QC 080000 and passed third-party certification to ensure that its products, throughout their lifecycles, are healthy and safe for both their users and the environment. The QC 080000 certification recognizes that Huawei's quality management system is more systematic and standardized in terms of the end-to-end control of hazardous substances in products.Our 500-square-meter environmental protection lab is chock full of cutting-edge equipment, encompassing chromatography, spectrum, and mass spectrometry, and has been certified by the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS).One important measure that we have taken to protect the environment and promote the circular economy is by using premium renewable materials, which reduce our reliance on direct mineral sources. Huawei Device currently uses 14 different types of renewable materials, including paper, plastic, gold, copper, aluminum, cobalt, and tin, in its products. It is also working with its suppliers to explore how to better implement more quality, renewable materials.Since 2013, we have used recycled and bio-based plastics widely in Huawei smartphones, smart watches, AR/VR devices, Bluetooth earphones, mobile routers, and other products, substantially mitigating the negative environmental impact associated with the manufacturing of petroleum-based plastics. Over 30% of the bio-based plastics that we use come from castor oil, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 62.6%, when compared with conventional plastics. -

Green packaging
Less wrapping plastics
Lighter packaging
Streamlined manuals
Eco-friendly packagingHuawei's special aqueous oil and pulp molding solutions, which aim to replace the plastics used for packaging, have been applied to the nova 14 Ultra smartphone packaging. These solutions are able to cut the use of disposable plastics by over 100 metric tons for every 10 million smartphones.We minimize materials and actively replace disposable plastics with reusable, eco-friendly alternatives. During 2024–2025, sustained efforts were made to reduce packaging weight and plastic use. These initiatives involved the optimization of stack design and the successful implementation of new materials and techniques. We also incorporated the requirements on package space utilization, as well as restricted use of disposable plastics, into our packaging design specifications.In 2025, we further trimmed down our user manuals for HUAWEI Vision. The product's on-screen Tips app has been enhanced to include more accessible and comprehensive content, providing consumers with a rich user experience while significantly reducing the need for printed paper documentation. Currently, this initiative has been extended to a full range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, wearables, PCs, routers, customer premises equipment (CPE), audio devices, HUAWEI Vision, and smart home products.We use recycled paper and paper materials from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified forests, which uphold rigorous sustainable development standards. Our latest eco-friendly materials have been certified as compostable by DIN CERTCO, meaning that they are biodegradable as part of industrial composting. Huawei uses 100% degradable environmental-friendly soy ink in place of petroleum inks, which spruces up the printing, while also ensuring that the packaging is safer and more eco-friendly. -
![HUAWEI Durable Products]()
Durable products
Built for the long haul
Easy to update
Easy to maintainWe believe that one of the most effective ways to help protect natural resources is by manufacturing durable and quality products that stand the test of time. We conduct strict durability tests on our products before delivery, and extend their lifetime with regular system updates and accessible and affordable repair services. These efforts make consumers full partners in the circular economy.We strive to provide an ultra-smooth system experience backed by convenient system updates, as it is important for enhancing product durability and user experience. HarmonyOS, with the HUAWEI Ark Engine, delivers significant improvements in graphics, multimedia, memory, and other performance, providing an impressively smooth user experience. As of October 2024, over 1 billion devices had been installed with HarmonyOS, bringing about a faster and smoother experience that can extend the service life of multiple devices through a system upgrade.Huawei has built a global network for accessible repair services, providing users with more reliable and affordable repair plans, supplemented by high-level repair centers, which offer more specialized repairs. Access to reliable and affordable repair services extends the lifespan of each product and slashes potential waste, ensuring that device replacement is no longer the only option for users facing a product breakdown.
Since 2020, Huawei's repair services for mainboards, screens, and other parts have extended the life of over 10 million devices.

Reducing our carbon footprint
At Huawei, more clean, including renewable, energy is used throughout its operations. Two examples of this are how we have already built PV plants on our campuses, and use clean energy to slash carbon emissions during operations. In 2024, Huawei used more than 1.07 billion kWh of electricity from renewable energy sources, which represents a year-on-year increase of 47.8%, as well as approximately 3.58 billion kWh of electricity from clean energy sources, which accounts for about 51% of the company's total electricity consumption (7.08 billion kWh).
Less carbon across the supply chain
Huawei values sustainability in its global supply chain, and works with partners to facilitate the supply chain transformation to green and low-carbon development and mitigate the threat to sustainable development. It joins industry chain partners' efforts to reduce carbon emissions by collecting statistics on carbon emissions and reporting them, setting scientific carbon emission reduction goals, working towards such goals, etc.
Green warehousing
We make continued efforts to deploy green warehousing and logistics solutions. During 2024–2025, we made improvements in green packaging for logistics, packaging reduction, energy-saving lighting, clean energy application, intelligent logistics scheduling, digital operations monitoring, and more to save resources and energy during warehousing and logistics and achieve low-carbon operations. These efforts could reduce carbon emissions during warehousing by over 2,800 metric tons every year
Green logistics
We adhere to low-carbon and environmentally friendly transportation during our sustainable development practices, continuously reducing environmental impact from the logistics phase. Since 2024, we have worked with our logistics partners to create a low-carbon transportation system through the use of NEVs and clean energy cargo ships, reduction of paper document circulation and air transportation, etc. These measures can reduce carbon emissions by more than 1,500 metric tons annually.
