1. Supreme & environmentally-responsible raw materials

IKEA is always associated with improving people’s quality of life and adhering to the business tenet of “provide as many customers as possible, well-designed, well-functioning, low-cost household items”. While providing a wide variety of beautiful and practical household items that ordinary people can afford, IKEA strives to create a business model centered on customers and the interests of society, and is committed to environmental protection and social responsibility issues.

Its international center was originally located in the capital of Oaxaca, Mexico. FSC is a relatively mature and complete forest certification system.

DY insists on using acid-free paper. The PH of mat boards is 7.0 (neutral) or higher (alkaline) means they’re acid-free. Under normal conditions of use and storage, the life of acid-free paper can reach 200 years. Permanent paper can last for at least centuries without significant deterioration. The paper generally has a pH of 7.5 or higher and does not contain groundwood pulp, so it has high strength and high paper properties, and is suitable for people to use and store for a long time.The basis weight and color of the paper depend on the application. The paper is solid, strong and close to neutral. After special treatment (eliminating the organic acid present therein) from the plant fiber pulp, it is made on a paper machine.
