More sustainable every day
For IKEA, the concept of sustainability is essential and every day we are more sustainable, with proposals such as the preparation of vegetarian hot dogs or methods to save energy..., and we are paving the way to offer a healthier home to the majority of people. We focus on inspiring change by designing affordable, recyclable and efficient products.
But... what do we understand by sustainability?
Among other things, that people live in the healthiest and most ecological way possible, be aware of our value chain and be responsible for the social impact in the communities where we work. We firmly believe that people should feel called to make positive, more sustainable change.
“No method is more effective than a good example”

Our (sustainable) materials
At IKEA we are committed with the environment, so we proposed achieving this goal: in 2030, the 100% of our products will be made of recycled or renewable materials, such as 100% sustainable cotton, wood obtained from responsible forests, plastic from recycled or renewable materials and bamboo… they are the materials of the future.
