To achieve this, we need to rethink how we conduct our business and preserve our existing values. Entering the used furniture market is a fantastic opportunity for us to achieve sustainable business growth while reducing our dependence on limited resources. Our &#8216;Second Life for Furniture&#8217; service enables IKEA customers to conveniently and economically pass on their used furniture while giving a second chance to products finding new homes.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/em><strong>Barbora Kotoun,<\/strong> Country Sustainability Manager, IKEA<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The executive summary of the application \u2013 with the original, unchanged text<\/p>\n<h4>The executive summary of the business solution:<\/h4>\n<p>In June 2022, <strong>IKEA launched the &#8220;Second Life for Furniture&#8221; service<\/strong>, offering <strong>a sustainable opportunity for our customers<\/strong>. This service involves <strong>buying back used IKEA furniture from their owners<\/strong>, which has become surplus in their homes, and giving these items a second chance in new homes. After repurchasing and careful inspection, the<strong> products seeking new owners are placed in the &#8220;Furniture Rescuer&#8221; section<\/strong>, where anyone can purchase them at the price at which IKEA bought them back. Products in the <strong>&#8220;Furniture Rescuer&#8221; section come with a one-year warranty for our customers<\/strong>. Additionally, IKEA Family members are provided with a guaranteed solution for repurchasing children&#8217;s furniture, thus <strong>contributing to the circularity of furniture<\/strong> that families typically use for short periods during specific life stages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This service aligns with IKEA&#8217;s goal to become fully circular by 2030<\/strong> and offers our customers an environmentally sustainable and conscious option when making decisions about their purchases and furniture replacements. <strong>Thanks to this service, in Hungary alone, 2,993 IKEA products were given a second chance in 2022, and our aim is to increase this number year by year.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;At IKEA, our goal is to become a circular company by 2030.
