Multipurpose and classic!Maggie B.So useful — from recycling to laundry to an improvised camp sink, to storing drinks on ice at a bbq—these are light and durable and look great. We have one in each color.5
I love these bins!MACAYLA I.Love these bins. My sister bought one for laundry and I’m obsessed. I bought three more5
Love itJENNIFER N.Love this tub! It is so versatile that I have multiple use for it. Gardening, fishing, "sink" for dishes when we go camping! This is a good buy!5
Endless Uses and DurabilityRegan C.We bought these 6 years ago for a party to hold beers and ice. We wanted something easier to carry than metal tubs,not to mention cheaper and more useful after, and these were perfect. They look exactly the same as when we bought them and we still use them every day, whether it's for laundry, storage, picking up toys, or car organization.5

Multi purpose and I like the colorMICHELLE J.Laundry? Sure. Yet also great to store grandkids loose toys and then leave on a shelf or in the closet.5
Use as a laundry bindonna w.I bought this to use as a laundry bin in a closet. It's perfect for me to carry up and down the stairs.5
Using as a recycling binChristine S.It is the perfect size to sit on the floor of my pantry to hold the items to be recycled. It is small, but I empty it into a larger community bin a couple of times per week, so the size is perfect.5

Nice but the handle brokeSienna S.I used as a laundry basket for about a year but the handle broke, so now I use it in the garage to hold garden supplies. I'm still going to replace it, but only use it to store items in the laundry room or as a tub to soak stained clothing .3
Aqua laundry basketBethanyI bought these to replace some collapsible laundry baskets as they are beginning to deteriorate. They do, of course, take up more space but I love this color and aesthetics was more important than space-saving feature.5

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 plastics

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 plastics

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!

Material

What is PE plastic?

PE, or polyethylene, is a versatile plastic with many uses. It can be soft and flexible as well as tough and strong. At IKEA we use PE for things like plastic bags, freezer bags, ice packs and chopping boards. A big reason why we like this plastic is that it can be made from renewable raw materials like corn and sugar cane.
