Data Report for 2022 shows that in 2022, the size of second-hand e-commerce trans-
actions reached 480.2 billion yuan, with 263 million users, representing a year-on-year
increase of 20% and 17.9% respectively.
More and more production enterprises have joined in the green transformation and
launched more energy-saving, environment-friendly and green organic products to meet
the needs of consumers for a green life. According to the “618 Consumption Trend In-
sight Report” in 2022, the number of products with energy-saving labels increased by
22% year-on-year, while the number of products with organic labels increased by 39%.
According to the “China Agricultural Green Development Report 2022”, by the end of
2022, there were 27,246 units that effectively used green food and organic agricultural
products, with a total number of 60,254 products, up 10% and 8.3% year-on-year, re-
spectively. The supply of green high-quality agricultural products continued to increase.
Green development in the service industry is also on the rise. At present, more than 500
green shopping malls have been established across the country, basically achieving the
goal of building more than 40% of shopping malls into green shopping malls by the end
of 2022. Greening is becoming an important direction for catering and accommodation
enterprises. According to the data of China Hotel Association, up to the first quarter of
2023, China has established more than 1,500 green hotels. Compared with traditional
enterprises, the work of establishing green hotels has achieved an average of 15% elec-
tricity and 10% water saving for enterprises.
At present, the logistics industry is actively exploring a new path of green devel-
opment, starting from orders, packaging, transportation, warehousing, recycling and
other aspects, implementing paperless delivery, promoting green packaging for express
delivery, reducing secondary packaging, using new energy vehicles for transportation
and distribution and other practices, which are promoting the green transformation of
the circulation link. Alibaba Group’s Environmental, Social and Governance Report
(2023) shows that during the fiscal year 2023, Cainiao reduced the total consumption
of packaging materials by more than 184,000 tons, and recycled 23.82 million cartons
at Cainiao Posthouse, a new high. During the “double 11” period in 2022, Cainiao con-
tinued to reduce the weight and carbon content of each package, and reduced the use of
packaging materials by 15% on average. According to the statistics of “tram resources”
platform, from January to June 2023, the cumulative sales volume of China’s new ener-
gy logistics vehicles exceeded 91,800, representing a year-on-year increase of 24.7%.
