Did you know?
In 2019, IKEA globally gave 47 million recovered products a second life.Better homes and a better world
When we look to improve the everyday life for the many people, we all need to consider how to reduce our impact on the planet. Does a piece of furniture really need replacing? Could it be given a second life? Our sell-back service is one of the ways we are making it easier and more affordable to live more sustainably.
Fully circular by 2030
We’re committed to being a fully circular business by 2030. To reach this goal, we create sustainable products that can be used and re-used for many years to come, right up until it’s time to recycle them and start again.
