Phasing out single-use plastic
We want to contribute to a world without waste and enable people to make more sustainable choices. The ambition that all plastic used in the IKEA home furnishing range will be based on renewable or recycled material by 2030 is an important part of our sustainability strategy, People and Planet Positive.
Phasing out single-use plastic from the home furnishing range and from our restaurants, cafes and bistros is one of many things we’ll do to contribute towards reducing plastic pollution from single use items. In 2021, items like straws, cutlery, cups and plates have been replaced by disposables made from 100% renewable sources.
More sustainable food containers
Watch this film to see the new and more sustainable disposables for our restaurants, cafes, and bistros. They are made from paper from sustainably managed forests and cane sugar – renewable sources that are better for both people and the planet. A more sustainable way to handle food on the go!
“Removing single-use plastic from our home furnishing range and from our restaurants, cafes and bistros is an important step to help our customers and our company contribute to a world without waste.”
Brendan Seale, Head of Sustainability, IKEA Retail Canada
Wooden cutlery
We have replaced plastic cutlery with recyclable forks, spoons, and knives made from responsibly sourced wood.
