Alibaba.com, a trading website, has increased its global trade as a result of green product trading increasing dramatically according to popular searches on the site. As the world’s leading B2B e-commerce company, Alibaba.com has had a rise in searches for alternative energy resources and organic products over the past two years.
The reason could be the growing mainstream environmental awareness – particularly in developed countries, in addition to large-scale government initiatives toward clean energy.
Solar-powered energy products are the fastest growing green sectors for the website, increasing 71% in Q1 2009.
