Chinese e-commerce platform JD and its partners will invest 6.5 billion yuan ($900 million) this year to encourage consumers to upgrade their refrigerators, televisions, other consumer durables and home furnishings through trade-in deals, as part of the country's broader efforts to bolster domestic consumption.
中國電子商務平臺京東及其合作伙伴今年將投資65億元人民幣(9億美元),鼓勵消費者通過以舊換新交易升級冰箱、電視、其他耐用消費品和家居用品,這是中國提振國內消費的更廣泛努力的一部分。
China is encouraging trade-in deals for consumer goods, including automobiles, household appliances and home furnishings, to boost consumption, thereby economic growth, according to a guideline released by the State Council, China's Cabinet, in March.
根據(jù)中國國務院3月份發(fā)布的一項指導方針,中國正在鼓勵汽車、家用電器和家居用品等消費品的以舊換新交易,以刺激消費,從而促進經(jīng)濟增長。
JD said it is confident the favorable policies will encourage more than 20 million consumers on its platform to participate in the trade-in deals this year, thus potentially leading to recycling of more than 30 million items. Last year, some 10 million consumers participated in trade-in deals.
京東表示,有信心這些優(yōu)惠政策將鼓勵其平臺上的2000多萬消費者今年參與以舊換新交易,從而有可能回收3000多萬件商品。去年,約有1000萬消費者參與了以舊換新交易。

京東家電和生活業(yè)務部門服務部門負責人孫雷表示:“以舊換新計劃有望幫助相關產(chǎn)品的銷量比去年增長100%。”。

“我們接受各種以舊換新產(chǎn)品,無論品牌、購買時間、外觀或狀況如何。我們還將在全國范圍內提供免費服務,幫助運輸和拆卸舊產(chǎn)品。”雷說。

涵蓋55個類別的小家電可以在京東上兌換更好的新家電。該公司表示,消費者可以選擇不同類別產(chǎn)品的以舊換新交易——例如,一臺電風扇可以換成一個電飯煲。

京東位于湖北省武漢市的小家電回收倉庫每天回收約2000至3000件舊產(chǎn)品,預計在旺季期間,回收量將增加一倍,甚至三倍或四倍。

對于家電等仍有剩余價值的產(chǎn)品,京東將與上下游企業(yè)合作,對零部件進行拆解和再利用。
"Consumer goods like mattresses, sofas, cookware, garment hangers, bathtubs and smart toilets all can be traded in on JD, including those with no residual value. Consumers will get a certain amount of subsidy and we will help process the old products as construction waste," Lei said.
“床墊、沙發(fā)、炊具、衣架、浴缸和智能馬桶等消費品都可以在京東上以舊換新,包括沒有殘值的商品。消費者將獲得一定數(shù)量的補貼,我們將幫助處理舊產(chǎn)品作為建筑垃圾,”雷說。
