Every year, millions of people eat at IKEA restaurants. And even here we’ve got an eye on the environment – at least one organic dish is offered in all IKEA restaurants and we carry select products in the Swedish Food Market that are certified organic.

Our food is really tasty, but it does happen once in a while that some of it ends up as leftovers on a customer's plate. That doesn't mean it's thrown away because at IKEA, we are always thinking of new ways to reduce our waste. At some of our stores in Sweden, Norway and Denmark we grind up food leftovers in a mill and store them in a special tank. The food waste finds its way to a special treatment centre where it gets reused, as biogas to run buses on.

When you buy coffee from an IKEA store in Canada, you're helping to improve social and environmental conditions at coffee plantations in different parts of the world.

Go to utzcertified.org/IKEA and enter the ‘best before’ date from your IKEA coffee bag to see the plantations where your beans were harvested!

UTZ certification makes all IKEA coffee 100% traceable. UTZ ensures standards for the housing, healthcare, and schooling for plantation workers and their families. And UTZ also trains farmers to minimize use of pesticides, water and fertilizer.
