There is a lot of valid concern regarding how plastic impacts the environment and at IKEA we take this very seriously.

Verified Reviewer We bought these to fill the little holes in a billy bookcase (purchased at the same time). Turns out they only fit furniture with 5mm holes and the BESTA series have 3mm holes, which I was pretty gutted about. Make sure you only do them at the very end though, because they are a real pain to get out once they're in. Just the job Verified Reviewer Colour match is perfect, and it's actually quite fun to put them all in.

This includes items such as plates, cups and plastic straws offered in our restaurants, bistros, and cafes.

The little plugs provided with the cabinet doors would be perfect - PLEEEEEASE release them for sale! As we add products made from recycled and renewable materials to our offer, we hope to inspire other companies to do the same.

DOESN'T FIT BESTA UNITS Verified Reviewer Was really disappointed to find that these are not a generic for across all the IKEA furniture. Currently more than 40% of our plastic products are based on recycled and renewable materials and our aim is to reach 100%. Recycled plastic allows us to give a second life to non-biodegradable products such as PET bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill. Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description. A big reason why we like this plastic is that it can be made from renewable raw materials like corn and sugar cane.

IKEA uses recycled PET that is post-consumer based, which means it is based on collected and sorted PET bottles. Poorly advertised Verified Reviewer These do not work on Billy or Besta which is a shame as the open holes make the products looks as cheap as they are.

Our journey towards only using recycled or renewable plastic will take some time and require new ways of doing things, but we are determined to take responsibility and find new solutions. PET is the most recycled plastic in the world and can be used for many different purposes such as plastic bottles and containers for packaging food and beverages as well as for personal care products, pharmaceuticals and many other consumer products. Both PET and PP can be reused and recycled, which reduces waste and gives the product several lives through use and reuse.
