Sadly this doesn't seem stop people from jamming up our building's recycling bins with tons of the stuff. Or IKEA, Samsung, and their ilk from producing tons of it to use in product packaging. Horrible stuff!

- Reason077 5y agoHopefully - I might be being a bit harsh on IKEA specifically. There's certainly a lot of "IKEA-like furniture" PS foam packaging out there that I often see overflowing the recycling.
- Ekaros 5y agoMost of the stuff I have bought from Ikea seem to be mostly carboard packaging. Which isn't actually that horrible for recycling when it is uncontaminated like stuff used for flatpack furniture is.
- mahkeiro 5y agoFoam is almost non existent in 2022 Ikea packaging. It's almost all 99% cardboard.
- Reason077 5y agoGlad to hear it. Now we just need to get a lot of other lesser-known manufacturers to follow their lead!
