THE BUSINESS CASE FOR CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Pia Heidenmark-Cook
Paris, 29 September 2016
When we close the circle, big things start to happen
The way we look at products we sell
The way IKEA interacts with customers
The way we look at our supply chain

DESIGNING FOR CIRCULARITY : TOMAT
This is a product currently on the IKEA shelves made of 100% virgin plastic. Working together with a supplier we found a way to use our own waste to partly replace the virgin material.
From February 2017, the bottle will be 50% made of IKEA Group stores shrink wrap waste.
