Environmental Responsibility
Renewable material (cotton).
All the cotton in our products comes from more sustainable sources. This means that the cotton is either recycled, or grown with less water, less fertilisers and less pesticides, while increasing profit margins for the farmers.
No optical brightener has been used.
Non-chlorine bleached.
IKEA has banned the use of chlorine bleaching agents in the production of textiles and paper products due to the negative impact on the environment.
Since 1996 IKEA has banned harmful dyestuffs, e.g. azo dyes, in textile and leather production.
IKEA has strict requirements for the use of phthalates in all our products, and we have totally banned them in children’s and food-contact products.
