This April, a month devoted to environmental awareness, IKEA is introducing an As-is online service allowing consumers to purchase gently used products. This new service helps IKEA Family members browse and reserve gently used products online to pick up and purchase in-store. There is a growing need for a more sustainable furniture industry to reduce waste and conserve resources. Environmentally minded consumers are choosing to purchase gently used items for the household because it is a more eco-friendly option that reduces the demand for new furniture production and helps to decrease the amount of waste going to landfills. Additionally, buying used furniture can be cost-effective and often results in unique and one-of-a-kind pieces in the home.
