IKEA's PS 2017 collection
"No waste" products made from recycled materials
IKEA has unveiled furniture and homeware made from recycled wood, plastic and glass as part of its latest PS collection aimed at young urban dwellers The Swedish furniture giant collaborated with 21 designers to create the 2017 PS range of 60 products, which it describes as offering "high design values at a great price" A number of experimental manufacturing techniques developed on IKEA's factory floor have been used to create the designs. These include recycling processes for IKEA's own packaging and manufacturing waste, which have been utilised for a homeware series that Ikea described as "no waste" products. The company hopes that the products will resonate with an environmentally conscious younger generation, and cater for its need for flexible furniture in smaller spaces. Fx. the chair called Odger, has a rounded shell moulded from 70% recycled plastic and 30% renewable wood - or The marbled IKEA PS Vases which are made by re-melted glass.
