IKEA has a vision to create a better life for the many people and to have a positive impact on people and the planet. IKEA recognises that to create a positive impact for people and planet, we must use our global reach and scale to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. We are on a journey to become circular in all aspects. The IKEA plastic pledge is part of this journey.

The subject of Kaufland’s pledge is the recycled content in our own brand beverage packaging produced at our production company Mitteldeutsche Erfrischungsgetränke GmbH & Co. KG (MEG). The bottles for the Kaufland own brand beverages (“K-Classic”) already contain an average of approx. 25 percent recycled material. We continuously work to increase the recycled content rate in our PET bottles.

The subject of Lidl’s pledge is the recycled content in our own-brand beverage packaging produced at our production company Mitteldeutsche Erfrischungsgetränke GmbH & Co. KG (MEG). The bottles for the Lidl own brand beverages (“Saskia,” “Freeway”) already contain an average of approx. 60 percent recycled material. We continuously work to increase the recycled content rate in our PET bottles.

From January 2025, Coop branded household and laundry detergent, Coop branded bottle of water, Coop branded fresh fruit and vegetables trays, CPR System Boxes for fruit and vegetables and all the brands of water sold in Coop stores will contain recycled plastic and will bring a total contribution by Coop to the recycled plastic market of 6.400 tonnes/year (based on sales data 2017).
