IKEA Now Selling Second-Hand Items?
This new Ikea buy back program is designed to enable customers to return gently used furniture and receive store credit in exchange.
Since we’ve all started paying a little bit more attention to climate change and waste, the term circular economy has become trending. And Ikea is jumping in on the action. The point is to reuse as many materials as possible before giving them up to a landfill. As Ikea has always been ahead of the curve from smart homes to small living, it’s not a surprise Ikea is now selling second-hand items.
According to Mercury News, the brand recently expanded it’s “as is” section to add items the brand has bought back. There are now more than 150 items, from furniture to rugs and lighting. All the products are refurbished and tested by Ikea professionals in order to make sure they’re safe and good quality.
Ikea, the world’s leading home furnishings retailer, has recently launched a groundbreaking new buyback program. This innovative initiative is designed to enable customers to return gently used furniture and receive store credit in exchange. Some of the most popular products could be deep discounted!

Additionally, Ikea is offering repair services in a few of its stores, with more scheduled to join. The goal is to extend the life of furniture, reduce waste and help people become more aware of the environment. In addition to buying back items from customers, Ikea will also sell products provided by third-party resellers that are certified by their sustainability standards.
This is not only a good way for Ikea to save money on manufacturing costs but to also prove its commitment toward sustainability. This move could also bring new customers revitalizing the strong brand. Ikea has always been considered trendy and functionable.
In addition, the brand has an affordable price point, making it a solid choice for young families and price-conscious folks (which is just about the entire country at this point.)
Ikea is so well known that its likeness has been used in a video game, but Ikea decided to sue; it’s one of a kind and must keep its brand strong.
By collaborating with third-party resellers and following sustainability practices, Ikea will be sure to keep its brand alive for years to come. In the end, this is a win-win situation; good for the environment and greater economic prosperity for Ikea.
