A workshop with packaging materials. Two designers discussing construction by a worktop with cardboard packaging prototypes.

In line with our commitment to have a positive impact on both people and the planet, IKEA will phase out plastic from consumer packaging solutions. The phase-out will happen in steps, starting with the new range by 2025, and the running range by 2028. With this phase-out, IKEA aims to reduce plastic waste and pollution, and drive the industry agenda to develop packaging solutions centred around renewable and recycled materials.

We talked to Sabine about the idea behind the upcoming collection, her fascinations, and how light comes into play with it all.
