They also aim to ditch virgin plastic in their packaging a bit sooner, by 2028. In order to achieve the latter, they&#8217;ve had to make a small change with a large impact: Getting rid of those little plastic bags that their fasteners come in, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/global\/en\/newsroom\/sustainability\/replacing-plastic-with-paper-based-fitting-bags-250611\/\">swapping in paper bags<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The bags are produced in-house using paper made from production waste,&#8221; says Lukas Exner, Production &amp; Distribution Manager at IKEA Components, who adds that then bags took several years of testing to develop. The payoff, he reckons, will be worth it. &#8220;This shift will reduce our virgin plastic consumption by up to 1,400 tons annually. It clearly shows how even the smallest change can generate great results.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In order to make the new bags durable enough to hold fasteners, the company found they had to add a &#8220;thin plastic coating,&#8221; but says the bags are still recyclable. They also say they&#8217;re &#8220;investigating the possibility of replacing this plastic coating with renewable materials.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>For now the paper bags are being added only to new Ikea products, presumably because it takes a while to alter incumbent production lines. But by 2028, they say, all of the plastic bags will be gone. <\/p>\n<p class=\"at_end\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ikea has set the ambitious goal of eliminating all virgin plastic from their products by 2030.
