IKEA has UTZ Certified coffee!
We want you to know that the coffee you drink at IKEA is made in a responsible manner – for the earth and for our people.

Why certified coffee? We sell and serve a lot of coffee every day, and want you to know that it was produced in a responsible and sustainable way. That is why we have decided that all coffee at IKEA shall be UTZ Certified and traceable all the way back to the plantations.

What is UTZ Certified? UTZ Certified is an independent not-for profit organization that sets a standard for responsible coffee growing and sourcing. UTZ Certified has a broad approach to sustainability, taking both people and the environment into consideration.

Trace your coffee! The taste and quality is always the same for each IKEA coffee variety. But the plantations the beans derive from may vary from one package to another. Click the link below, follow the instructions and you’ll find out exactly which plantations your coffee originates from, and get to know a lot about them.

Solar Cell
Good News!
SUNNAN is our first solar cell work lamp. It has a LED source that runs on rechargeable batteries charged by sunlight and makes it environmentally friendly and energy efficient. The largest group for SUNNAN work is the youth customer. The work lamp is easy to store and to clean. It is durable and long lasting with its plastic material and lead light source. SUNNAN is sold in a small plastic bag with ventilation holes.

How to change SUNNAN work lamp: Put he solar panel outside facing the sky. The solar panel is loaded with the rechargeable batteries that come inside the lamp. If it is a sunny day it takes 9-12 hours for the solar panel to get fully charged. The light lasts for 3-4 hours when the solar panel is fully charged.

Customer Benefits *Solar cells transform sunlight into electrical energy - requires no electrical connections.

Recycling Change
Battery Recycling On Hold !
Until further notice, IKEA has suspended the recycling service to take back used batteries. This is due to the challenges of a new regulation issued by the US Department of Transportation (US DOT) regarding the transport of batteries. For more information on this new regulation for battery recycing and how it affects ALL battery recycling, please visit: www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/regs/rulemaking/final

We apologize for any inconvenience.
