IKEA will introduce an online platform in the UK that allows customers to buy and sell pre-owned IKEA furniture directly with one another. The initiative is part of the company’s efforts to promote reuse and reduce waste by helping products remain useful for longer.

The UK rollout follows similar launches in several European countries, showing IKEA’s growing focus on circular business models. Through the platform, members can easily connect with local buyers and sellers in a trusted environment.

The move also responds to rising consumer interest in second-hand shopping, driven by both cost savings and sustainability goals. By entering the resale market, IKEA aims to offer customers a simple way to extend the life of furniture while strengthening its presence in the growing pre-owned goods sector.
