A better world starts at home

Better sleep, better life

Sleeping is great! Sufficient sleep is essential for human development and health. We spend about one third of our life asleep and that is good: Because good sleep makes us more beautiful, more intelligent and happier; we can work better, memory and concentration increase.

To have a great work-life-sleep balance is to sustain in the long run.

Healthy food for a better life

Did you know that by switching to a vegetarian diet, you can reduce the carbon footprint of your diet by almost 25%. If you go vegan, this can be as high as 40%.

Plant-based food is good for your health and tends to contain less calories and fat than animal-based products. A plant-based diet also supplies your body with valuable vitamins, minerals and dietary fibres.

Waste is only waste if we make it so

The starting point for a world with less waste is to prevent waste by simple everyday actions. This could mean bringing your own bags for food and vegetables when shopping, plan meals ahead and consider banning single use items in your life. When waste is unavoidable, we need to treat it with respect. At IKEA we have lots of different pre-designed solutions that will help you simplify waste sorting and keep everything in order. This way, we can all go a little further in preserving our Earth’s resources.
