IKEA FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE
âAt IKEA, we sell more than one billion meatballs every year. Imagine if we could get some of our many meatball lovers to choose the plant-ball instead,â Sharla Halvorson, Health & Sustainability Manager for IKEAâs global food business, said. âIf we were to convert about 20 percent of our meatball sales to plant balls, that would mean around 8 percent reduction of our climate footprint for the food business at IKEA. In order to reduce the climate footprint of the IKEA food business, we need to reduce the number of traditional meatballs that we sell.â
In 2018, IKEA added a vegan hot dog to its European outletsâwhere it sold 1,000,000 vegan hotdogs in two months. Presently, IKEA extended the vegan hot dogâmade with kale, red lentils, carrots, and gingerâto all areas in the US, Canada, and Australia.
