A sustainable everyday

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

At the same time, we work to reduce the environmental impact of our operations and continuously improve the way we use resources. This includes increasing the use of renewable electricity, improving energy efficiency, reducing food waste in our restaurants, and finding ways to use resources more efficiently in our daily operations. By integrating these efforts into our business, we aim to lead by example in the markets where we operate.

Circularity in product and design

At IKEA, we aim to design our products with circularity in mind from the very beginning. This means creating products that can be easily assembled, disassembled, repaired, reused, and eventually recycled, helping to extend their lifespan and reduce waste. We also continuously work to increase the use of renewable and recyclable materials, while making it easier to recover valuable resources at the end of a product’s life cycle.

• We switched out the nails to help you assemble and disassemble our storage hero BILLY.

• With a foldable frame and smart construction, the PAX wardrobe is made to be reused, relocated and re-loved.

• Improving air quality in homes - FÖRNUFTIG air purifier. can filter out 99.5% of small airborne particles.

• Swapping plastic packaging for paper.

• Less material, same bounce in our mattresses, like VÅGSTRANDA.
