IKEA loves wood – a documentary

Australian timber industry news - Wed, 08/07/2026 - 03:19

IKEA is one of the world’s largest consumers of wood. Almost 15 million cubic metres of the material are used every year in cheap IKEA products with millions of trees felled for the mass production machine. Source: Danish Film Institute IKEA Loves Wood (‘IKEA elsker træ’) is a Danish investigative documentary that looks at IKEA’s forestry practices in the Rumanian Carpathian Mountains, an area with some of the last old-growth forests of Europe. Biologists, environmental groups and local activists say the Swedish furniture giant’s timber production is having a significant impact on old-growth forests and biodiversity. IKEA, however, states that it doesn’t tolerate illegal or unethical practices and that its suppliers are carefully selected. A trailer in English for the documentary is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IodzOvrrfNA The documentary is available to view in Danish with English subtitles at: https://www.dw.com/en/ikea-loves-wood/video-77861212
