Reviews

Update on previous reviewAnonymous reviewerI previously reported the handles broke and got the reply that it’s 15 kg maximum weight. I had no where near that weight as the washing came out of my washing machine 9 kg! Looking at the review there are numerous reporting the same problem. Obviously the manufacturer and IKEA have got it wrong. Substandard item being sold.2
Handles break, they need to be stronger.Anonymous reviewerI have brought 2 of these my Green one lasted the longest but the one of the handles just broke. The blue one both handles broke quite easily on. Disappointed as I loved the colour of the green one. If ikea just redesigned the handles to be stronger this would be a great product. As the rest of the basket is great. 1
LoveAnonymous reviewerI got this to replace a laundry hamper. I love it! Fits in my wardrobe perfectly and is perfect for carrying clothes to the washer and then outside for hanging clean clothes out. Easy to clean too!5
Handles gave wayAnonymous reviewerLove this item but a full load resulted in one of the handles snapping. Boo hoo! Husband has done a repair job with a plastic tie. Will need to rethink what to buy next. Not good item1
Torkis laundry basketAnonymous reviewerGreat size, flexible material, nice colour5
Handles always breakAnonymous reviewerHad two different ones and each time the handles have broken. They snap as they aren't designed to hold the weight of a basketful of wet washing. It looks really nice and I like the colour but won't be buying again due to the design fault. 2
Poor designAnonymous reviewerThe handles are of poor design, not strong enough and as others have said, they break after a short while. I would not recommend this product.1
Washing containerAnonymous reviewerVery nice, good quality, the only reason for 4 star instead of 5 is that it would have been much much better to handle if the handles were at each side instead of the bottom, that way you could carry it out to garden with other hand free for pegs as you need 2 hands to carry it as it is4
handle breaksAnonymous reviewerI purchased two of these and the handles have broken on both of them after a short time . . I would not purchase again.1
Ideal as a temporary bathAnonymous reviewerIdeal as a temporary bath for a baby.5
Perfect size for washing myAnonymous reviewerPerfect size for washing my little dogs in.....🐾🐾😉5
Handle breaksAnonymous reviewerI have bought 4 of these and I think 3 out of 4, the handles have broken, annoying as I hate to waste so currently still using them with broken handles! Not really a sustainable product.1
FANTASTICAnonymous reviewerBest tub for washing little dog for putting clothes in from washer absolutely 💯 👌5
FantasticAnonymous reviewerFantastic5
It is useful for theAnonymous reviewerIt is useful for the indoors to move my washing from the washer.5
Laundry basketAnonymous reviewerOK, but design with only handles at each end means it is very difficult to carry it through doors.4
both baskets handles have broken within a yearAnonymous reviewerI love this basket but i've now had 2 of them and both handles on both sides have snapped within a year. so frustrating! not bothering to buy another one. just a waste of money1
ImprImpracticalAnonymous reviewerBizarre handle placement renders this pretty much useless, plus it's very small.1

Broken handleAnonymous reviewerI loved this laundry basket - practical and pretty colour - but one handle has broken after less than a year of light use (2 adults’ laundry) so it’s now unusable - I expected it to last much longer, just a waste of plastic now :(1

Story

Our take on plastic

Plastic is a key material for IKEA and remains so going forward. It is strong, durable, lightweight and versatile. It is a main component in a large amount of our products and has a wide variety of applications from surface materials such as paint and foil, to screws and shelf pegs. There is a lot of valid concern regarding how plastic impacts the environment and at IKEA we take this very seriously. As part of our larger circular journey and transition from virgin fossil based material, we are working hard to change all plastic in our home furnishing products to plastic made from recycled and/or renewable raw materials.

Only recycled or renewable plastic

Plastic is most commonly derived from oil and gas, which are non-renewable fossil sources. These sources do not renew themselves and will eventually be depleted. Our ambition is that by 2030, all plastic used in our products will be based on renewable or recycled materials. Renewable plastic is made from materials such as vegetable oil, corn, wheat grain and sugar cane. Recycled plastic allows us to give a second life to non-biodegradable products such as PET bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill. Using recyclable sources also lessens our dependency on oil as a raw material. Currently more than 40% of our plastic products are based on recycled and renewable materials and our aim is to reach 100%. As we add products made from recycled and renewable materials to our offer, we hope to inspire other companies to do the same.

Phasing out single-use plastic

Single-use plastic items pollute ecosystems if not disposed of responsibly. As part of our commitment to people and the planet, all single-use plastic products from the global home furnishing range were phased out in 2020. This includes items such as plates, cups and plastic straws offered in our restaurants, bistros, and cafes. These were replaced by disposables made from 100% renewable sources.

PET and PP, our most commonly used plastics

Polythylene terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) are durable, hygienic and shatter-resistant plastics. They absorb very little water and have good chemical resistance. Both PET and PP can be reused and recycled, which reduces waste and gives the product several lives through use and reuse. PET is the most recycled plastic in the world and can be used for many different purposes such as plastic bottles and containers for packaging food and beverages as well as for personal care products, pharmaceuticals and many other consumer products. At IKEA we mainly use recycled PET in boxes, filling material for textiles and kitchen front foil. PET is approved by health-agencies as safe to use for food and beverage. IKEA uses recycled PET that is post-consumer based, which means it is based on collected and sorted PET bottles.

Clean and safe

IKEA takes product safety very seriously and all products are tested and comply with the strictest possible laws and safety standards on all IKEA markets. Customers should always feel confident that products bought at IKEA are safe and healthy to use. IKEA wants to minimize or totally refrain from the use of chemicals and substances that can be harmful to people and the environment.

Together, we can do more

Our journey towards only using recycled or renewable plastic will take some time and require new ways of doing things, but we are determined to take responsibility and find new solutions. We want to give our customers the possibility to choose products made from more sustainable materials that can be recycled again one day. Together, we can make a big difference!

Material

What is PE plastic?

PE, or polyethylene, is a versatile plastic with many uses. It can be soft and flexible as well as tough and strong. At IKEA we use PE for things like plastic bags, freezer bags, ice packs and chopping boards. A big reason why we like this plastic is that it can be made from renewable raw materials like corn and sugar cane.
