[Audio] The current challenges I-K-E-A is trying to address IKEA is working towards changing every aspect of what they do, from the way they source energy and materials to how they design their lovely products and run their operations..
IKEA have set ambitious goals 1. To enable the customers to acquire, care for, and pass on products in circular ways. 2. To design every product from the very beginning to be reused, refurbished and finally recycled. 3. To only use renewable and recyclable materials 4.To advocate, collaborate and form business partnerships to promote a circular economy.
[Audio] How the circular economy influenced their proposed solution.
Waste as a resource. At IKEA, they hate wasting resources and are always looking for ways to make more from less. This applies to raw materials, energy and space. And they also know that waste can be a valuable resource. After all, waste is no longer waste if it’s given a second life..
[Audio] What the solution is and why it is more sustainable and circular.
[Audio] Recycling Many of I-K-E-A best ideas are recycled For example most of the lamps put recycling at the heart of design. One is made with at least 50% recycled plastic, the other with at least 90% recycled paper pulp.
