IKEA Canada leads effort to promote affordable circular solutions

IKEA Canada held its inaugural “One Home, One Planet” event on April 16, 2024, in Toronto, Ontario, aiming to advance circularity across Canadian homes. The gathering brought together over 100 stakeholders, including brands, businesses, and community groups, to create a roadmap for making circularity accessible and affordable for Canadians.

The event featured panel discussions, breakout sessions, and “Fast 5” presentations on sustainability. Key takeaways included the need for increased public education on reuse and repair options, and the economic value of circularity.

“Let’s bring our solutions to the table and say in one voice ‘Yes Canada, we have a plan to make circularity easy, accessible, and affordable for you!’ Canadians deserve to live better and as circular leaders, we owe them a plan to help them live that life,” said IKEA Canada’s CEO, Selwyn Crittendon.
