How we use plastic in IKEA products
We’ve phased out single-use plastic products from our home furnishing range and are eliminating plastic from our product packaging. Where possible, we are replacing virgin fossil-based plastics with recycled or renewable-based plastics in specific product lines.
Recycled so you can recycle
We’ve started a journey to not only produce plastic products from industrial waste but also from household waste. The first of these products is HÅLLBAR waste bin which is used to separate waste and take care of recycling in people’s homes.
Reuse our ISTAD resealable bags
ISTAD, our resealable all-purpose bag, is made from materials derived from sugar cane and can be used over and over again.

Lower prices through smart technologies
New co-injection technology allows us to use two different materials in the same product. This means each one can be chosen for the job it has to do. Just like in NYPON plant pot, which consists of a less expensive structural core and a better looking and feeling outer layer or “skin”.

Recycled plastic in the ZEBRASÄV lamp
At least 50% of the plastic in the shade of our ZEBRASÄV lamp is recycled. The design successfully integrated recycled plastic without compromising on expressive design, quality or function.

Reducing plastic in consumer packaging
We’re constantly looking for opportunities to use paper-based materials for packaging instead of plastic. For example, we've started using paper-based bags instead of plastic for fittings like screws, bolts and Allen keys. Our SMÅSPORRE range of duvets and pillows is another example where we've moved from a plastic wrapper to paper after extensive testing and development.
