LEIDEN - Swedish homeware giant IKEA is to launch a buy back scheme for customers' used furniture at all stores across the UK and Ireland next month as part of its bid to be fully circular by 2030.
The world’s biggest furniture retailer is to introduce the programme on Black Friday, 27th November, because it says it also wants to discourage customers from "excessive consumption".
IKEA has previously piloted new models of furniture rental and refurbishment and take-back schemes for textiles and furniture. However, this will be the first time it has expanded such an initiative nationwide.
