JD Doubles Subsidies for Its Holiday Workers to RMB 200M Yuan
by Yuchuan Wang
In the ninth consecutive year providing nonstop delivery during the Chinese New Year holiday, JD Logistics will further increase its subsidies for frontline employees such as couriers and warehouse staff working during the holiday to RMB 200 million yuan, doubling the RMB 100 million yuan initially announced in January.
“My parents are in Shijiazhuang. I decided to stay [in Beijing] where I work when I saw the surge of COVID-19 cases in my hometown,” said Kunlin Yin, a JD courier in Beijing.
As more and more Chinese people choose to stay where they work for Spring Festival holiday to reduce the possibility of being infected with COVID-19, JD’s data has shown a sharp increase in remote orders — where the sender and recipient cities differ. From the Dec. 8-20 on the lunar calendar, remote orders increased 55% YOY.
This year, JD expanded its CNY delivery policy such that customers in 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, nearly 300 cities and 1,500 counties and districts can receive orders during the holiday as fast as usual.

JD Logistics Deploys 500,000 New Reusable Cold Chain Delivery Boxes, Targeting 127,000 Tons in Carbon Reductions
On June 5, which is World Environment Day and the 8th anniversary of JD.com’s Green Stream Initiative, JD Logistics, also known as JINGDONG Logistics, announced that it will bring 500,000 new reusable cold chain delivery boxes into service for fresh products, marking the largest deployment of its kind in the industry.
Each of these boxes will be collected and reused after delivery, significantly reducing single-use waste. With each reuse cutting carbon emissions by approximately 850 grams, the new boxes are expected to reduce emissions by an estimated 127,000 tons over their lifecycle.
This move comes as China’s express delivery sector hits a new peak of 174.5 billion parcels in 2024, topping global rankings for the 11th consecutive year. However, the growing demand has led to rising environmental concerns, especially around packaging waste and limited consumer-friendly recycling options.
JD Logistics has been working to address this challenge since 2015 by promoting reusable packaging solutions. So far, more than 3 million reusable cold chain boxes have been put into use. In 2024 alone, 960,000 boxes are in active circulation, helping to cut 72,000 tons of CO₂ emissions—equivalent to the annual electricity use of 77,000 households.
The new upgraded boxes are engineered for durability and performance, having passed rigorous insulation and drop tests. Each box supports up to 300 reuses—nearly twice the lifecycle of earlier models—and features improved sealing to preserve freshness more effectively.
To ensure precision and accountability, every reusable delivery box is embedded with a unique barcode and RFID tag, enabling full lifecycle tracking via JD Logistics’ proprietary circular packaging management system. Real-time backend updates provide data on each box’s usage count, condition, and logistics path.
In conjunction with the rollout of the upgraded boxes, JD Logistics has partnered with over 300 fresh food brands to offer green delivery services throughout JD.com’s 618 Grand Promotion, China’s largest mid-year shopping festival. These partnerships transform the high-consumption event into a full-chain carbon reduction campaign.
This is just one part of JD.com’s “Green Stream Initiative.” Launched in 2017, the Green Stream Initiative represents the company’s long-term commitment to a responsible supply chain. From AI-driven optimization and green energy adoption to recyclable packaging and smart transportation, the company continues to build a next-generation, environmentally responsible supply chain, and set the standard for green innovation in the logistics industry.
