Choosing sustainable materials
We are continuing our journey towards absolute decoupling of virgin, non-renewable material use from IKEA business growth. We aim to increase the share of recycled and renewable content in IKEA products to at least 90% and to provide new solutions for our customers to prolong the life of products and materials.
The many qualities of wood
Wood is an excellent material from a design and quality perspective – provided it’s responsibly sourced. It’s an important part of our Scandinavian design heritage.
Strong, recyclable metal
Metal is a great material. It’s strong, durable and affordable. And it’s sustainable too. And we want to make it even more sustainable by ensuring that our metal is sourced and produced in a responsible way.
Transforming our business to use recycled and renewable-based plastics
We are transforming our business to reduce reliance on virgin fossil-based plastics and to work towards plastic materials used in our products coming from recycled or renewable sources. Using recycled plastic can also help to reduce waste and ease pressure on natural resources.
The many benefits of bamboo
As a material, bamboo is both strong and sustainable. And it’s versatile too. This is why we’re using more of it to create beautiful, durable IKEA products.
