borntorun: unconsumption: In just a few weeks, Ikea will enact a massive design change that will be largely invisible to consumers: They’re ditching wooden shipping pallets in favor of cardboard ones. The furniture giant has designed a way to fold corrugated cardboard into a structure that is far thinner than a traditional wooden pallet, yet can still support the 1,650 pounds necessary to transport their goods. (via Ikea’s Cardboard Pallets Intrigue - Core77) Yay! Now even more of their products will be falling apart.
