Reviews

A large pup with barely any rootsVerified ReviewerI went to my local IKEA store (Wembley) last night as I noticed they had them back in stock. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had the Gold Flame variety. All plants were overwatered, most probably due to the fact that they weren't established ones and with barely any roots to prevent them from falling off. There was one plant out of its soil and you can clearly see that it was currently removed from the mother plant and repotted recently. There was also a NPK Blue Fertilizer balls in the soil, probably in the hope to fast producing roots. I tried to speak to a Manager, but the staff member told me that she just went on to break and didn't want her food to get cold. Then she sent someone else, who, after a long conversation with her said that she has to investigate for herself. IKEA buyers, please make sure your suppliers are selling you established plants.1

Amazing Value Sanseviera TrifasciataVerified ReviewerI am impressed with the quality and value of the foliage plants like this Sanseviera which I bought, along with a green planter. The plant is larger than you often see in garden centres and it even has two offsets which I will be able to repot.5

Lovely looking plantVerified ReviewerPlant looks perfect in our lounge4
Good plantVerified ReviewerThey seemed a bit tired and dusty so I bought just one instead of the three I had planned. There seemed to be only two out of the species displayed. They might have looked better in spring when they were first supplied. However, after cleaning the leaves and repotting the plant, it looks very nice.I'm sure it has many years to live in my bathroom. Going forward, I might just wait until spring to buy plants3
Great plant but all had quite bad dinksVerified ReviewerGreat household plant for a low light rooms and low maintenance.4
Quality plants - bought 3!Verified ReviewerQuality plants - bought 3!5
Lovely bright green succulentVerified ReviewerI had been thinking about getting this plant for some time so checked the website and saw that they were available in my local store. I was delighted to find there were still some on sale when I visited and bought my plant...yeah!5
Tough looking plantVerified ReviewerI needed a replacement plant for the kitchen and this fits the bill. Strong, upright, variegated leaves, it makes a bold statement without taking up much room. Hopefully it will continue to thrive as it looks to be a good healthy plant. Excellent value for money too.5

Sustainable life at home

Care thrives in green leaves

Did you know that if you take care of your plants, they’ll take care of you? We have long known that plants are an easy way to make your home more pleasant. But we also wanted to find out if and how they affect our health. We found answers to our questions in a study we carried out with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Plants are indeed good for our well-being. Our green friends can help us to be more creative and also reduce stress – care thrives in their green leaves!

Story

Our take on plastic

Plastic is a key material for IKEA and remains so going forward. It is strong, durable, lightweight and versatile. It is a main component in a large amount of our products and has a wide variety of applications from surface materials such as paint and foil, to screws and shelf pegs. There is a lot of valid concern regarding how plastic impacts the environment and at IKEA we take this very seriously. As part of our larger circular journey and transition from virgin fossil based material, we are working hard to change all plastic in our home furnishing products to plastic made from recycled and/or renewable raw materials.

Only recycled or renewable plastic

Plastic is most commonly derived from oil and gas, which are non-renewable fossil sources. These sources do not renew themselves and will eventually be depleted. Our ambition is that by 2030, all plastic used in our products will be based on renewable or recycled materials. Renewable plastic is made from materials such as vegetable oil, corn, wheat grain and sugar cane. Recycled plastic allows us to give a second life to non-biodegradable products such as PET bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill. Using recyclable sources also lessens our dependency on oil as a raw material. Currently more than 40% of our plastic products are based on recycled and renewable materials and our aim is to reach 100%. As we add products made from recycled and renewable materials to our offer, we hope to inspire other companies to do the same.

Phasing out single-use plastic

Single-use plastic items pollute ecosystems if not disposed of responsibly. As part of our commitment to people and the planet, all single-use plastic products from the global home furnishing range were phased out in 2020. This includes items such as plates, cups and plastic straws offered in our restaurants, bistros, and cafes. These were replaced by disposables made from 100% renewable sources.

PET and PP, our most commonly used plastics

Polythylene terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) are durable, hygienic and shatter-resistant plastics. They absorb very little water and have good chemical resistance. Both PET and PP can be reused and recycled, which reduces waste and gives the product several lives through use and reuse. PET is the most recycled plastic in the world and can be used for many different purposes such as plastic bottles and containers for packaging food and beverages as well as for personal care products, pharmaceuticals and many other consumer products. At IKEA we mainly use recycled PET in boxes, filling material for textiles and kitchen front foil. PET is approved by health-agencies as safe to use for food and beverage. IKEA uses recycled PET that is post-consumer based, which means it is based on collected and sorted PET bottles.

Clean and safe

IKEA takes product safety very seriously and all products are tested and comply with the strictest possible laws and safety standards on all IKEA markets. Customers should always feel confident that products bought at IKEA are safe and healthy to use. IKEA wants to minimize or totally refrain from the use of chemicals and substances that can be harmful to people and the environment.

Together, we can do more

Our journey towards only using recycled or renewable plastic will take some time and require new ways of doing things, but we are determined to take responsibility and find new solutions. We want to give our customers the possibility to choose products made from more sustainable materials that can be recycled again one day. Together, we can make a big difference!
