35% more efficient
The new SOLHETTA LED bulbs are much more energy effecient - and affordable - than previous IKEA LED bulbs.
100% renewable electricity in IKEA factories
During FY21 we reached 100% renewable electricity for all IKEA-operated factories, packaging and distribution units globally.
55.8% renewable materials
Of the materials we sourced in 2021, 55.8% were renewable and 17.3% were recycled.
Less waste with rechargeable batteries
We no longer sell non-rechargeable alkaline batteries and have replaced them with our LADDA rechargeable batteries. This helps customers to significantly reduce waste and save money in the long run.
