Megafactories

I was surprised when I found out IKEA had 5 different manufacturing plants each focusing on a specific type of material. I was also surprised by the amount of material they were using and how much stuff they were producing. IKEA's mission to create cheap yet designer furniture is a good idea and I think they are doing a good job of staying with in their own guidelines. The amount of stuff they produce though makes me wonder how much waste is being created by this furniture and how is it impacting the environment.
