How can I live more sustainably?
We’re working hard to run our business in more sustainable ways, and at the same time, we’re also developing products and services that enable people to reduce their impact on the planet. By focusing on energy, air, water, waste and food we can help you live more sustainably.
By 2030 our goal is to inspire more than 1 billion people to live a better everyday life within the limits of the planet
Promoting circular and sustainable consumption
More and more of our products are designed to be circular, have a small climate footprint and be made of renewable and recycled materials. We’re on our way but still have a lot of work to do. We also want to enable people to make more sustainable choices and make it easy for them to reduce food waste, eat more plant-based food and to care for and pass on IKEA products.
Why we sell second-hand furniture
When improving our homes, we can ask ourselves if a piece of furniture we don’t need could be given a second life. Or if we really need a brand new item. Our Buy back and resell service is one way we’re making it more affordable to live more sustainably.
Reduce food waste at home
The sad truth is that every third bite of food produced is lost or wasted. The good news is that we have smart, affordable products that can help you make the most of what you buy and cook.
Reuse, repair, recycle, reimagine
