From today, thanks to the numbered and detailed instructions, disassembling Ikea furniture will no longer be a challenge for those unfamiliar with do-it-yourself. On the company's website, 6 sections have already been entered in the Disassembly Instructions section, which include furniture such as desks, beds and wardrobes.

“There are also other ways to make your furniture last longer. It could be a simple coat of paint or turning an old object into something new. " - so the Swedish company urges its customers to recycle and embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. - "So when the time comes and you need something different, try adding modules to an item you already own."
In recent years, Ikea has been carrying out a series of sustainable initiatives. Indeed, by 2030 the company intends to transform itself into a circular reality in all its aspects. The Swedish multinational also recently announced that it will sell its spare parts online to incentivize furniture repairs.
