After shooting 40 frames the camera can be sent for recycling as it is made with materials recyclable for reuse. The digital device is part of the campaign, IKEA, whose meaning lies in the fact that buyers can share photos of their furniture on the website magazina.
The camera is called Knappa and will be distributed free of charge in some of the company's stores around the world. It was created by Swedish designer Jesper Kouthoofdom, it runs on two AA batteries and connects to the computer using the built-in USB port.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the corporation in an interview Bi-bi-si said that the production of the cameras, "does not mean that the company starts selling electronic equipment."
