原文

Furniture giant Ikea is planning to sell spare parts for its furniture in a bid to scale up its green credentials.

The Swedish firm said it was looking at selling items such as sofa legs and covers and arm rests, in addition to the replacement nuts and bolts it currently offers for free.

Its aim is to prolong the life of its products and dispel the idea that it makes disposable goods.
