We want all our rugs to be made from sustainable wool

IKEA wants to have a positive impact on people, animals and the planet, that’s why we’re on a journey to transform all the wool we use in our products to 100% Responsibly Sourced Wool. We will do this by sourcing wool which follows the ‘Responsible Wool Standard’ (RWS) guideline.

“Wool is a fantastic material, it’s sustainable, it’s also renewable and it provides different properties to our products.”
Rafael Elizondo, Category Manager for Textile Carpets at IKEA

How will we do this?

To ensure that the wool we use is sourced in a responsible way, we need to work to secure full traceability of the wool used in our supply chain.

Reasons to choose wool

• Wool is renewable, biodegradable and recyclable
• Wool is a natural, durable and strong material
• Wool ages beautifully and is more resistant to stains
• Wool is highly thermal and breathable
• Wool dyes easily, so we can create many beautiful and varied design styles for you to choose from

Making Responsibly Sourced Wool available for everyone

We are committed to transforming all our wool to 100% Responsibly Sourced Wool.

Trust for natural materials

We know that our customers prefer to have natural materials in their homes and close to their skin. Being a durable, natural and strong material, wool is perfect for rugs.

KOLLUND is one of many rugs in our range that are made from 100% wool and 100% cotton. Being renewable and recyclable, wool plays an important role on our shift towards more sustainable materials.
