♻️PSA: IKEA’s Launched A BUY BACK SCHEME That’ll Save Thousands Of Furniture Items Going To Landfill!♻️
Now this is a sustainable initiative we can get around!
@ikea_australia has launched a ‘buy back’ scheme that will save thousands of furniture items going to landfill. Instead of throwing out your pre-loved items, or even trying to resell them yourself online, you can now take them in-store and receive a “refund.”
IKEA will then reuse and resell these items through their AS-IS department. Each item is assessed in-store and customers are rewarded with store credit based on the item’s condition. You won’t be receiving a full refund for the purchase price, but it is something and goes a long way to reduce unnecessary waste.
As a mass producer, it’s great to see IKEA crafting creative solutions to mitigate waste. But the onus is on us to make it work. Tag your friends and family who own IKEA furniture to let them know about the new buy back scheme and encourage them to think differently just like IKEA.
