Millions of IKEA furniture are given a new life by a circular business model

IKEA actively works with circularity. By 2030, IKEA aims to have all of their products being made from renewable or recycled materials, designed to be reused, resold, or recycled. In 2019, IKEA gave a second life to 47 million products that were being sold via bargain corners, while more than 9 million products were repackaged and returned to their shelves. Since the summer of 2020, IKEA has been buying back and reselling used IKEA furniture in their Circular Store. All furniture sold in the Circular Store is given a new chance instead of being unnecessarily thrown away. The furniture which can be found at the Circular Store either comes from expired collections or from customers who are reselling unwanted furniture back to IKEA. In the spring of 2021, IKEA introduced the Circular Store to all their department stores throughout Sweden, and the plan for the following years is to introduce it to all IKEA department stores throughout the world.

    I handed in one of our old desks at home to IKEA just yesterday, super smooth and practical! More stores should definitely do this.

      Not for the rich. But for the wise. As the old IKEA pay off went, in my translation from Swedish.
