Except for IKEA executives, they would spend 4 years assembling the cabinet.

    you’re drawing false conclusions from incorrect assumptions and half-truths.

    What about a cheap, biodegradable upcycled material that lasts for decades screams wasteful to you?

    Many of their products are sustainably sourced solid wood.

    you obviously don’t know about the company’s sustainability processes.

    At least learn how they source their material and what they do with their products at the end of their life cycle instead of pretending they’re scary because… they use upcycled materials and are committed to net zero waste.

    with so many actually wasteful and harmful companies, you are screaming at a windmill here.

        I understand the abstract logical connection, but I’m unfamiliar with practical data and statistics on airfare increasing in cost as a result of lower priced tickets, or chairs being prohibitively expensive because Ikea makes chairs., and am interested in reading the data.

        in my anecdotal experience, airfares are getting cheaper directly as a result of budget airlines, and I travel quite a bit by air.

        I get all of my furniture second hand, so I really don’t have any anecdote experience about for furniture haha.

        I still don’t see the connection between Ikea products using sustainably sourced wood and being wasteful, either.

        using upcycled and sustainable materials is responsible and resourceful, rather than wasteful.
