IKEA has turned one of its outlets in Thailand into a circular store. At IKEA Bang Yai, customers can shop secondhand furniture, bring their preloved items in for resale, and earn points by sorting and recycling their waste for collection. IKEA Bang Yai is now the country’s first to adopt IKEA’s global Circular Store concept. It is part of IKEA’s pledge to become a fully circular business by 2030. 

IKEA Thailand’s Circular Store

At IKEA Ban Yai, customers can purchase used IKEA furniture for a discount, as well as sell their preloved home furnishings. At the recycling centre, customers can bring their recyclable waste, such as paper, aluminium and glass, and drop them off for collection.

In return for bringing in their recyclables, IKEA will reward customers with Family Points. For every 5,000 points collected, customers will receive a 50 Baht voucher to spend in stores.

‘Inviting everyone to join our sustainability journey’

According to IKEA Bang Yai, the initiative hopes to encourage more Thailand consumers to incorporate sustainability into their everyday lifestyles, whether it be giving old furniture a new life and diverting trash from landfills, to increasing recycling efforts.
