The Irish and UK arm of IKEA is offering to buy back unwanted IKEA furniture from customers, which it will then resell in stores as second hand.

It said the "Buy Back" initiative, launching on November 27, is part of the world's biggest furniture retailer's goal of becoming "a fully circular and climate positive business by 2030".
