So instead of just throwing these old uniforms into the trash heaps, they came up with new products that were made from 300 tonnes of these \u201cuseless\u201d IKEA uniforms. If you\u2019re not a fan of yellow and blue though, you might want to look elsewhere, even though they managed to tone down the colors considerably without dyeing the textile, which can be more expensive and resource-intensive.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-472998\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/01\/27\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Ikea repurposes old uniforms into new lifestyle collection\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/2.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-472998\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/01\/27\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Ikea repurposes old uniforms into new lifestyle collection\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"bc5083c5e20bc324c2e947e1-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"bc5083c5e20bc324c2e947e1-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-472999\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/01\/27\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Ikea repurposes old uniforms into new lifestyle collection\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/3.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/3.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-472999\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/01\/27\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Ikea repurposes old uniforms into new lifestyle collection\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/ikea-repurposes-old-uniforms-into-new-lifestyle-collection\/3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad layout=\"fluid\" height=\"fluid\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/3847355\/yd-select-amp\"><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<p>The collection features 16 textile-based items that use the aforementioned old uniforms. This includes things like throw pillows, bags, cushion covers, and even curtains. They are not entirely made from the uniform textile though as they are blended with other recycled materials like polyester from used PET bottles. They also even included some of the \u201cfaulty\u201d new uniforms so they will also not go to waste.
