Hopefully - I might be being a bit harsh on IKEA specifically. There's certainly a lot of "IKEA-like furniture" PS foam packaging out there that I often see overflowing the recycling.



Most of the stuff I have bought from Ikea seem to be mostly carboard packaging. Which isn't actually that horrible for recycling when it is uncontaminated like stuff used for flatpack furniture is.


Foam is almost non existent in 2022 Ikea packaging. It's almost all 99% cardboard.


Glad to hear it. Now we just need to get a lot of other lesser-known manufacturers to follow their lead!
