Coming home with a big IKEA haul is fun, but the garbage leftover is not fun. Many people feel just as excited and happy about the packaging waste once they know how they can make use of it.
IKEA will match different animals with different sizes and shapes in their cardboard product boxes. After people finish assembling their IKEA products, they can reshape the boxes into homes that fit the animals. With just a few simple steps, cardboard boxes can be repurposed. 60% of American families have a pet, and the boxes are helpful for them, too. For those without pets, instructions include ways to use the waste as weatherproofing to create homes for wild animals outdoors.
