Live more sustainably

How can I live more sustainably?

We’re working hard to run our business in more sustainable ways, and at the same time, we’re also developing products and services that enable people to reduce their impact on the planet. By focusing on energy, air, water, waste and food we can help you live more sustainably.

Did you know

Our goal is to inspire more than 1 billion people to live a better everyday life within the limits of the planet.

Promoting circular and sustainable consumption

More and more of our products are designed to be circular, have a small climate footprint and be made of renewable and recycled materials. We’re on our way but still have a lot of work to do. We also want to enable people to make more sustainable choices and make it easy for them to reduce food waste, eat more plant-based food and to care for and pass on IKEA products.

Local initiatives
We believe that over time more and more people can and will have a better everyday life. To make this a reality requires bold ambitions and commitments to urgent actions.

Reduce food waste at home
The sad truth is that every third bite of food produced is lost or wasted. The good news is that we have smart, affordable products that can help you make the most of what you buy and cook.

Reuse, repair, recycle, reimagine

Looking for ideas on how to live more sustainably at home? Look no further.

Creating a movement for better everyday living

We want to make healthy and sustainable living the norm by inspiring and enabling more sustainable behaviours in society. We develop products that enable people to live more sustainably, and we share tips and ideas on how to be more energy and water efficient, minimise waste, and eat more plant-based.

Rechargeable batteries and chargers

There are three good reasons to switch to rechargeable batteries: you save money, you reduce waste and your impact on the planet, and you’ll always have a fresh battery when you need it.
