All cotton in IKEA products comes from more sustainable sources. This means that its cotton is either recycled or grown with less water and pesticides than conventional cotton. In addition, IKEA’s cotton helps increase profits for the cotton farmer.
Leading constant change for cotton
By having teams on the ground in areas where it has previously been difficult to work responsibly, IKEA can challenge the traditional ways of working and improve cotton production. It keeps working actively to improve the cotton industry, and wants more sustainable cotton to be the norm for the entire sector.
Your choice matters
We use cotton in many products. But no matter where you find it, you can rest assured that all our cotton is grown and produced responsibly. By creating a home with more sustainable cotton products, you’re contributing to a more responsible cotton industry and a better future for coming generations.
Sweeter dreams with cotton grown with care
Treat yourself to the dreamy softness of cotton that’s grown with care. DOFTAKLEJA duvet cover and pillowcase are woven from pure cotton that breathes, absorbs moisture and becomes softer with every wash. All the cotton we use comes from more sustainable sources, either being recycled or grown with care for the environment.
IKEA works to make responsibly sourced cotton mainstream
Conventional cotton farming uses large amounts of chemicals and water. This puts farmers’ health at risk and damages the environment. Together with WWF and other partners, IKEA is committed to creating positive change throughout the cotton industry making more sustainable cotton a mainstream material.
Water management is key for a better cotton production
IKEA’s work focuses on water, providing farmers with training in better water management practices. It applies the Water Stewardship principles which help to build resilient communities and are also expanding the scope of its cotton initiatives to include biodiversity and health management.
IKEA and WWF are working together
WWF and IKEA are working together to safeguard and manage natural resources and transform business for the benefit of people and planet. Through projects within forests, cotton, freshwater and climate, the partnership is working to protect and enhance biodiversity.
Better Cotton
IKEA is a member of Better Cotton – the world’s leading sustainability initiative for cotton. The mission is to help cotton communities thrive while protecting and restoring the environment.
