It is likely not helpful if IKEA gets to enjoy the image of an environmentally-friendly eneterprise based on a token gesture. Many companies engage in such gestures to get themselves off the hook for their involvement in problematic practices.

I'm not saying that it's IKEA's fault that people buy throw-away furniture, or that the population is growing etc, but still.

Yep. Same for Apple: "We're leaving out the charger for your $1000 phone. It's for the environment, we promise."

But, I'll take any environment win I can get at this point.
