JD expands green packaging drive

Chinese e-commerce giant JD is expanding its eco-friendly packaging program as part of ongoing efforts to promote sustainable consumption.

Under the new program, JD's customers can have thousands of products delivered in reusable small and medium-sized parcels, making e-commerce more environmentally friendly and reducing costs.

JD estimates the program can save 32.5 million yuan ($4.7 million) per year if 10 percent of orders use the new packaging.
