Reuse, repair, recycle, reimagine: living more sustainably with IKEA

At IKEA, we’re on an exciting journey to become a circular business by 2030, making healthy and more sustainable living accessible and more affordable to people around the world. We’re reimagining how we do things, from how and where our materials are sourced, to how our products are designed, transported, sold and – eventually – recycled. Like anything worthwhile, it’s a process filled with new challenges and adventures, but we’re well on our way to helping create a better everyday life for people and the planet.

Rugs: Today’s offcuts are tomorrow’s rugs

The TÅNUM rug is handmade using offcuts from IKEA cotton textile production, which would otherwise have been discarded. Aside from repurposing waste, it also means that no two rugs are exactly alike!

As Is section: More sustainable choices, on a budget

No visit to an IKEA store would be complete without popping by at the As Is section. Here, you’ll find returned items, floor samples, end of range and discontinued pieces, all at a fraction of their original price. We’re dedicated to giving every piece we make as long and useful a life as possible, and this is one of the ways we’re making sure we do that.

Pro tip: opt for second-hand where you can

Never forget that the most sustainable furniture is the furniture that already exists, so buying returned or pre-loved pieces isn’t just more wallet friendly – it’s better for the planet too!

Better future

In 2020, 30.5 million products were sold through As Is, in all over the world.
