Ikea has promised to eliminate single-use plastic items from its home furnishings and food services operations by 2020.

The Swedish home furnishing giant says it will stop using products such as plastic straws, plates, cups, freezer and garbage bags.

It will also be phasing out the use of disposable plastic in their in-store restaurants.

These changes are expected to take effect by the end of 2019 across 29 countries, including all Canadian locations.

Ikea has also promised that all their packing materials will be made from renewable or recycled materials by 2030.
