5. 50% of emmission
Nearly half of the total IKEA carbon
emission – 15 mio. tons – are
originating from the raw material we
use.

6. Only 1% of plastic
is bio-based
Only 1 percent of all plastics produced
in society today are bio-based plastics
– this out of a total global plastic
production of 8 tones pr. second!

7. 750 mio.
750 mio. people do not have access to
fresh drinking water. Farming, dyeing
and manufacturing of materials are
all water intensive processes.
9. We need to
collaborate
To transform the making of materials
we need to collaborate to overcome
systemic roadblocks and scaling of
new sustainable innovations.

20. WE MATCH THE SELECTED
INNOVATORS WITH 30 KEY
INDUSTRY PLAYERS,
INVESTORS, TOP ACADEMIA
AND GOV. OFFICIALS TO HELP
THEM SCALE THEIR
INNOVATION GLOBALLY.
21. WE WORK WITH THE
GLOBAL GREEN GROWTH
FORUM (3GF) ALLOWING THE
BEST OF OUR INNOVATORS TO
PRESENT THEIR INNOVATION
TO LEADING CEO’S AND SVP’S
FROM RELEVANT COMPANIES
PIONEERING GREEN GROWTH
22. DISRUPTIVE
INNOVATION FESTIVAL

25. NEW MATERIALS & FEEDSTOCK
LAUNCH NORDIC THEME 2015
HOW CAN WE THROUGH ALTERNATIVE FEEDSTOCK AND NEW TYPES OF
MATERIALS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE SUSTAINABILITY THROUGHOUT
PRODUCTION, MANUFACTURING, USE AND RECYCLING.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR TRANSFORMATIVE INNOVATIONS WITHIN ALL TYPES OF
MATERIALS IN THE THINGS WE WEAR, OUR FURNITURE AND DURABLE
HOUSEHOLD GOODS (NOT ELECTRONICS).
