IKEA Product Waste Disposal and Recycling Information

This document provides essential information regarding the proper disposal and recycling of IKEA products, focusing on the meaning of the 'crossed-out wheeled bin' symbol and IKEA's commitment to environmental responsibility.

Understanding the 'Crossed-Out Wheeled Bin' Symbol

The symbol featuring a ?️ (crossed-out wheeled bin) indicates that the product must not be disposed of with regular household waste. It signifies that the item requires separate collection and recycling in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal.

By separating products marked with this symbol from household waste, consumers contribute to reducing the volume of waste sent to incinerators or landfills. This practice helps minimize potential negative impacts on human health and the environment.

For more detailed information on local disposal and recycling options, please contact your nearest IKEA store.

IKEA's Commitment to Recycling and Take-Back Programs

IKEA is committed to responsible product lifecycle management. This includes providing guidance on how to properly dispose of products at the end of their life.

Disposal of Batteries, Rechargeable Batteries, and Lamps

Before disposing of any electrical or electronic appliance, it is crucial to remove any batteries, rechargeable batteries, and lamps that are not an integral part of the device and can be removed without causing damage. These removed components must be disposed of separately from household waste, adhering to local regulations.

Data Protection

Consumers are responsible for deleting any personal data stored on electronic devices before handing them over for disposal.

IKEA's Take-Back Service

When purchasing a new electrical or electronic device of the same type with a similar function, IKEA offers a free take-back service for your old appliance at the point of delivery.

Additionally, IKEA accepts small old appliances (not larger than 25 centimeters) for recycling, irrespective of whether a new product is purchased. These can be handed in free of charge at designated collection points, often found on the IKEA website. The return of old appliances is generally limited to three items per device type.

For specific details regarding the take-back program in your region, please refer to the IKEA website or contact your local IKEA store.
