Ikea wants to become more sustainable by avoiding environmentally damaging activities like illegal deforestation and plastic waste. The Swedish furniture giant has bought forests in Romania and the Baltics, wind farms in Poland and now it is investing in a plastic recycling plant in the Netherlands. Ikea’s investment builds on the company’s goal to make its plastic products (representing around 40 percent of its total plastic use) using 100 percent recyclable and/or recycled materials by 2020.
