Ingka Investments has expanded its forest holdings in Romania to approximately 51,000 hectares, increasing by 400 hectares over three years. Ulf Johansson from Inter IKEA Group noted that about 3% of wood used in IKEA products comes from Romania, with significant contributions from other countries. Johansson emphasized the importance of European forests for IKEA's supply chain and mentioned ongoing investments in forests outside Romania. He highlighted the need for a shift towards circular development and increased recycling of wood to address global wood shortages. Johansson also discussed the challenges of sourcing recycled wood and the impact of logistics on production costs, predicting long-term increases in wood prices due to rising demand and environmental factors.
