No optical brightener has been used. IKEA has banned the use of chlorine bleaching agents in the production of textiles and paper products due to the negative impact on the environment. IKEA has strict requirements for the use of phthalates in all our products, and we have totally banned them in children’s and food-contact products. Since 1996 IKEA has banned harmful dyestuffs, e.g. azo dyes, in textile and leather production. By using recycled polyester in this product, we consume less new raw materials and lower our environmental impact while existing materials get new life. We want to have a positive impact on the planet. That is why by 2030, we want all materials in our products to be recycled or renewable, and sourced in responsible ways.
