A sustainable everyday

At IKEA, we're optimists. We tackle the planet's problems with human-centred solutions. We want to empower people to live more sustainably, so we're focusing on affordable, resource- and energy-efficient products. With home solar panels, plant-based hot dogs, and energy-saving solutions, we’re paving the way for more sustainable living for the many.

Do something. Change everything.

Circularity in product and design

Every day, we work to improve our products and make them more sustainable. For example, we've removed the nails to make assembling and disassembling a BILLY easier; the PAX wardrobe has a foldable frame and a smart design for reuse and relocation; the FÖRNUFTIG air purifier can filter 99.5% of small airborne particles and improve air quality; we've replaced plastic packaging with paper and use less material to achieve the same cushioning in our mattresses, such as the VÅGSTRANDA.
