Recycled PET-bottles become IKEA kitchen cabinetry fronts

CONSHOHOCKEN, Penn. - Swedish furniture giant IKEA's new line of kitchen cabinets is made from reclaimed wood planks and laminate coating made from recycled PET-bottles. The line, called Kungsbacka, launched in February.
 
Each year, the company says billions of PET-bottles are consumed worldwide. Some of them are recycled as material for new products, while the vast majority become waste.
 
“What we do at IKEA has a big impact on the environment because we work with large quantities.
