Ikea has launched a plant-based version of its iconic Swedish meatballs in the Chinese mainland market in its retail store restaurants and Swedish Food House.

Made of yellow pea protein, oats, potatoes, onions and apples, the vegetarian-friendly meatballs have a carbon footprint that is 25 times less than that of the Swedish company’s classic pork-and-beef ones.

The move is part of Ikea’s broader plan to reduce its carbon footprint, which includes using renewable and recyclable materials in all furniture sold in China by 2030.

“Besides sustainable home solutions, Ikea hopes to inspire people to follow a more sustainable diet style, which will have a positive impact on human beings and the planet,”said Anders Lennartsson,sustainability manager at Ikea China.
