Sustainability Through IKEA - The War On Waste Taken Seriously

Submitted 5 years ago

I would like to see a section in IKEA, a Market Place, sellling loose, unpackaged products straight into IKEA containers. For instance if IKEA could develop �laundry containers� and people bring their containers and refill these with washing powder and softening liquid, dishwashing liquid. Or �cereal containers� and at this � market place� people could refill the containers with different kinds of mueslis, corn flakes, dry cereals from around the world. You pay per weight.

Other ideas: soup mixes, dry beans, lentils; loose leaf teas; chocolates and sweets; dog food; oil, vinegar, soy sauce; different types of rice from all over the world; different types of pasta.

�A special trolly could hold your containers that needs filling.
�The Market Place needs to be easily accessible from the parking area.
�A variety of containers -BPA free/glass - should be on sale in the area.
�An adviser should be on hand advising customers on the best use of space and containers.
�The quality of products sold should be of a high standard.
�Hygiene should be paramount. Biodegradable gloves should be worn by everyone, tools used at all times.
�Traditional food like rice, pulses, etc can be displayed in hessian bags?
