Our take on plastic
Plastic is a key material for IKEA and remains so going forward. It is strong, durable, lightweight and versatile. It is a main component in a large amount of our products and has a wide variety of applications from surface materials such as paint and foil, to screws and shelf pegs. There is a lot of valid concern regarding how plastic impacts the environment and at IKEA we take this very seriously. As part of our larger circular journey and transition from virgin fossil based material, we are working hard to change all plastic in our home furnishing products to plastic made from recycled and/or renewable raw materials.
Only recycled or renewable plastic
Plastic is most commonly derived from oil and gas, which are non-renewable fossil sources. These sources do not renew themselves and will eventually be depleted. Our ambition is that by 2030, all plastic used in our products will be based on renewable or recycled materials. Renewable plastic is made from materials such as vegetable oil, corn, wheat grain and sugar cane. Recycled plastic allows us to give a second life to non-biodegradable products such as PET bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill. Using recyclable sources also lessens our dependency on oil as a raw material. Currently more than 40% of our plastic products are based on recycled and renewable materials and our aim is to reach 100%. As we add products made from recycled and renewable materials to our offer, we hope to inspire other companies to do the same.
Phasing out single-use plastic
Single-use plastic items pollute ecosystems if not disposed of responsibly. As part of our commitment to people and the planet, all single-use plastic products from the global home furnishing range were phased out in 2020. This includes items such as plates, cups and plastic straws offered in our restaurants, bistros, and cafes. These were replaced by disposables made from 100% renewable sources.
PET and PP, our most commonly used plastics
Polythylene terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) are durable, hygienic and shatter-resistant plastics. They absorb very little water and have good chemical resistance. Both PET and PP can be reused and recycled, which reduces waste and gives the product several lives through use and reuse. PET is the most recycled plastic in the world and can be used for many different purposes such as plastic bottles and containers for packaging food and beverages as well as for personal care products, pharmaceuticals and many other consumer products. At IKEA we mainly use recycled PET in boxes, filling material for textiles and kitchen front foil. PET is approved by health-agencies as safe to use for food and beverage. IKEA uses recycled PET that is post-consumer based, which means it is based on collected and sorted PET bottles.
Clean and safe
IKEA takes product safety very seriously and all products are tested and comply with the strictest possible laws and safety standards on all IKEA markets. Customers should always feel confident that products bought at IKEA are safe and healthy to use. IKEA wants to minimize or totally refrain from the use of chemicals and substances that can be harmful to people and the environment.
Together, we can do more
Our journey towards only using recycled or renewable plastic will take some time and require new ways of doing things, but we are determined to take responsibility and find new solutions. We want to give our customers the possibility to choose products made from more sustainable materials that can be recycled again one day. Together, we can make a big difference!
Material
What is ABS plastic?
ABS plastic is a strong and stable material with a glossy surface – making it perfect for especially used everyday objects like cutlery drawers, kitchen utensils, toothbrush mugs and bathroom hooks. ABS is made from oil-based, non-renewable raw materials, but development is progressing and we are using more and more recycled ABS. It is an important step towards our goal of only using plastic that is recycled or from renewable sources.
Energy and Resources
Did you know using water more efficiently can reduce your energy bills and help tackle climate change?
Heating hot water accounts for 25% of home energy usage. Using water efficiently reduces energy bills and ultimately reduces carbon emissions. Look for the unified water label and start making a difference. The label has a clear colour coded system to show how much energy and water the product uses. Green rated products use less than those rated Red. Visit www.uwla.eu to find out more.
Low price
You don’t have to spend more to save on water and energy
LILLREVET hand shower may cost less, but just like all our head/hand showers, it has a small pressure compensating washer (PCW) that reduces water flow while maintaining the pressure. This means you save water and energy every time you turn on the shower. It’s a small part of our bigger effort to conserve more clean water than we use by 2020. And every water-saving action adds up.
Function/solution
A shower just the way you like it
Our head and hand showers provide individual comfort with the option to choose between 1, 3 or 5 spray functions. Choose FULL for a wide and even coverage; MESH to boost the force; MASSAGE to vary to flow; or MIST to de-stress with fine, gentle droplets. You can also choose combinations like FULL/MIST, FULL/MESH or FULL/MASSAGE. All shower mixers have a pressure compensating function that reduces water-use and gives you an even flow – even when the water pressure changes.
Coordination
Everything you need for a great shower experience
Our shower range offers everything you need for a pleasant shower. The thermostatic shower mixers come with “cold touch” and anti-scald technology. The head and hand showers come with different spray functions and a pressure compensating function that reduces water- and energy-use by up to 30%. There is a range of coordinated bathroom accessories that keep all those bottles off the floor. Add to this, a 10-year guarantee on the thermostatic mixers and a 3-year guarantee on riser rails, hoses, head and hand showers.
Sustainable life at home
Shower with a clean conscience
Each of our head/hand showers has a small pressure compensating washer (PCW) that reduces water flow while maintaining the pressure. It’s a small part of our bigger effort to conserve water. We’re committed to being water positive by 2020, that is, conserving more clean water than we use. And every water-saving action adds up.
