IKEA recycles 85% of their waste in Spain

To achieve this goal, the company seeks the involvement of all its employees to consider that all are "responsible for the environment". For this purpose are addressed internal awareness campaigns and training programmes, include, among other activities, visits to the Centre of the separation of waste in the store. IKEA also runs campaigns of awareness and action towards its clients, for those who has established an area of the environment in each store with a collection point for different types of waste such as light bulbs, batteries, plasticpaper and cardboard, managed by the company so that they can be recycled properly.

In addition to recycling, Ikea develops packaging reduction plans and reuses products already used to create new ones, (such as the 'ladis' container, manufactured with protectors of plastic that are used in the transportation of Ikea products on pallets).
