How environmentally friendly is the IKEA catalogue?

The IKEA catalogue is treated as any other IKEA product. This means that environmental and social concerns are taken into account right from the planning stage until the printed catalogue is delivered to millions of homes across the world. Several factors are taken into account, such as, the choice of paper, the production process, and transportation.

The IKEA catalogue is the largest print production to be printed entirely on Forest Stewardship Council Mix Credit paper and labelled with the FSC logo. This means that the entire IKEA catalogue production chain, from forest to printer, is FSC-certified, which ensures that the wood used is from a more sustainable source. Our catalogues are printed on 100% chlorine-free paper. No rainforest or old-growth fibres are used. The pre-press process is 100% digital, which means no film is used and none of the associated chemicals. No optical brighteners are used on the paper. We also offer digital versions of our catalogue and brochures!
