Taking action now to create an impact We are on a journey to reduce our reliance on virgin fossil-based plastics, transitioning towards more recycled and renewable content across all of our materials, including plastic. A part of this journey is to incorporate the mass balance approach. Usually, for children’s products, the plastic is derived from virgin fossil oil. However, for the MAMMUT series, we have committed to investing in 25% renewable materials, as attributed through the mass balance approach. Through our traceability standards, we ensure that the renewable material input is traceable throughout the supply chain and corresponds to the renewable material output. MAMMUT, one of our most iconic product families from the children’s range, is the first plastic furniture product to be produced using the mass balance approach. And we will continue to evaluate the next steps in the years to come. Read more about this here: https://lnkd.in/dkHY4kuN

We're celebrating 40 years of the IKEA meatball, here's how to say 'meatball' from all around the world 🌍🧆 #Meatball #IKEAMeatball40Years

Introducing a smarter way to paint kitchen fronts 🎨✨ We’ve spent the last 12 years developing a new painting method – the soft roller. The technique was first implemented at our factory in Älmhult, where STENSUND kitchen fronts in green and white are produced, and is now also used in our factories in Sweden, Portugal, and Poland. The results speak for themselves: - 20% less paint waste – equal to 20 tons annually in one factory - 30% lower CO₂ emissions - Drying time cut from 45 minutes to just 1 minute using energy-efficient LED lights - 15% lower production costs The soft roller presses paint evenly into curves and corners, reducing overspray while ensuring high quality. Combined with LED drying, this innovation significantly improves efficiency and lowers climate impact – while keeping costs down for our customers. This marks a big step forward in creating more sustainable, efficient production methods – while continuing to improve quality and affordability for customers.

Bringing joy to the kitchen Food is an unspoken universal language that brings people together. At home, the kitchen is the heart of this experience, and has also become the place where everyday life happens. But in this modern world, fewer people cook and eat together. While the kitchen is one of the most utilised spaces in the home, it is also one of the rooms that people are least satisfied with. This year, we want to help the many people overcome these challenges. We're kicking off a year-long global campaign to make cooking and eating at home more enjoyable and accessible, regardless of budget, life circumstance, or living space.
