Transitioning towards a circular business​

We are working towards changing every aspect of what we do, from the way we source energy and materials to how we design our products and run our operations.​

We’ve set high-reaching goals

  • By 2030, IKEA products are designed from the very beginning to be reused, repaired, refurbished and recycled, achieving an average circular fulfilment score across our entire product range of 90%, with at least half of our products scoring 100%.
  • By 2030, an absolute decoupling of virgin, non-renewable material use from IKEA business growth is achieved, with an increase in the share of recycled and renewable content in IKEA products to at least 90%.
  • By 2030, Circular services are designed and implemented in at least 80% of our markets, making it easier for people to reuse, repair, refurbish and recycle.

Many of our best ideas are recycled

Our ZEBRASÄV lamps put recycling at the heart of design. One is made with at ​least 50% recycled plastic, the other with at least 90% recycled paper pulp.

Waste as a resource​

At IKEA, we hate wasting resources and are always looking for ways to make more from less. This applies to raw materials, energy and space. And we also know that waste can be a valuable resource. After all, waste is no longer waste if it’s given a second life.

On our way​

As part of our journey to transitioning towards a circular business we’re designing for a circular future.

​In 2024, through our Buyback Service, we repurchased over 495,000 used IKEA products that customers no longer needed and resold them. We provided over 25.8 million free assembly parts to 2.2 million customers to help them repair our products and keep them in use for longer.
