This year marks Alibaba’s 11th consecutive Global Shopping Festival. From an obscure date on the Chinese calendar, Alibaba has turned 11.11 into a hotly anticipated annual event and the world’s largest single-day shopping extravaganza.

2019.11.11, 'Double Eleven' - one of the world's largest e-commerce Global Shopping Festival has once again set new records in terms of GMV. Alibaba Group, the pioneer of the event, raked in $38.4 billion during the event, representing a 26% increase over last year’s total.

Green Consumption

As Chinese people increasingly look for improved quality of life over ownership of cheap products, green shopping has become a new keyword for this year's 'Double Eleven'.

Online retailers and delivery firms are aware that the environmental impacts of packaging materials cannot be ignored. More and more retailers have introduced reusable boxes, shopping bags and bin bags.

China’s e-commerce mogul, Jack Ma called on the logistics sector to support ‘green packaging’ and ‘green logistics’ and help drive this by pushing the implementation of tax reductions and incentives, as well as monitoring and assessing the environmental responsibilities of relevant parties in the industry. He also called for a reduction of the use of packaging materials in parcels, encouraged electronic waybills instead of paper ones, and called for more recycling of packaging materials.

The government is also getting involved. In March 2017 it set up a new body to oversee the environmental impacts of China’s logistics sector. The deputy environmental protection minister Zhao Yingmin attended the opening ceremony in Beijing. Founding members included logistics technology firm Cainiao and the Alibaba Foundation, along with six delivery firms.

So far, CNY 300 million (US$46 million) has been invested in logistics upgrades to promote the development of sustainable packaging and lower the carbon footprint of the industry.
