In Sweden, the land of a billion trees, Ikea wooden spoons are made in China and transported to Sweden. ANY company that does this and claims to be green is blowing smoke up your ass.

- prawn 7y agoWouldn't they be transported around the world? Surely IKEA doesn't manufacture abroad, bring everything to Sweden, and then ship out from there! Perhaps China is a reasonably central point to transport from?

- CalRobert 7y agoOďd, it seems like most of their stuff I buy is from eastern Europe, especially Poland.
- audunw 7y agoTransport on the ocean has a relatively low carbon impact per kg. Spoons are small. It might actually be more efficient to build just one factory that can make spoons for IKEAs store across the world, rather than build a bunch of small local factories all over the place. Don't make assumptions.
