Our commitment to the future
At doddl we care about the future of our children. It’s in our DNA. That means we take our responsibility to look after the future of the planet and the future of our children seriously.
Sustainability
Re-homing doddl
Our technologically advanced baby cutlery, toddler cutlery and plates are engineered from long lasting, high-quality materials, meaning they can be used for years.
So, through our sustainability partners at Merry-go-round, when your child has outgrown their clothes, and their doddl, you can re-home them, helping to ensure no doddl product is wasted. Alternatively you can gift your set to Kids Stuff to be rehomed with a family they work with. Find out more about Kids Stuff here.
Sustainability
Biodegradable Materials
The doddl bowl and doddl plate contain a clever additive that reduces the time the plastic will spend in landfill if the products are disposed of, ensuring they are more environmentally friendly without impacting the quality of the experience.
Sustainability
Recycling
Occasionally it’s not possible to pass doddl on. If that is the case, at this point our partners at Kids Stuff will separate out the materials and recycle them into new products, meaning doddl fully avoids landfill and uses less of the planet’s resources. How to recycle doddl:
Simply send your set back to doddl HQ marked as RECYCLE:

Sustainability
Reducing Plastic Packaging
Our most recent products, the doddl bowl, plate and children’s cutlery case all contain zero plastic in their packaging.
We use high quality cardboard boxes for despatching goods to doddl customers, which are fully recyclable.
We redesigned our baby cutlery and children’s cutlery packaging and removed most of the plastic within them. We are proud of that, but we want to do more, and we will keep working towards plastic-free packaging, our ultimate aim.
Our Business

For all children
doddl is designed to benefit every child and to make learning to self-feed as easy as possible. This is where doddl really makes a difference especially for children who find cutlery particularly challenging and may be looking for adapted cutlery including children with Autism, Down syndrome, Dyspraxia, Cerebral Palsy, Arthritis, Developmental Co-ordination Disorder or children with Development and Motorskill delays.
Our Commitment to Developing Independence
The doddl entrepreneur programme
Our products are designed to help develop independence in babies and toddlers at mealtimes. But for us our commitment to developing independence runs deeper.
As a business we are committed to helping young children access opportunities that will support their developing independence and confidence. So we have established the doddl entrepreneur programme. Working in partnership with local primary schools we create and deliver programmes developed to showcase the opportunities that becoming an entrepreneur offers. A career choice that truly embraces independence, demands resilience and self-belief, our job is to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs. Watch our week with Thrupp Primary School Gloucestershire below and for more information on our programme please contact team@doddl.com.
Our Commitment to Developing Independence
2B Enterprising + doddl
The Bumbles of Honeywood Programme helps develop valuable enterprising skills of primary school children across the UK. Through our partnership, a local primary school can now benefit from a suite of resources that are curriculum mapped and aimed at inspiring and educating 4–8-year-old children in readiness for their future. The resources are designed to help children develop the skills they need to be healthy, independent and confident adults and are presented in a classroom ready "off the shelf" format that can be delivered by educators and enjoyed by children.
Forest Green Rovers partnership
Sustainability is at the core of Forest Green Rovers. Known for being the only vegan football club in the world, they are continually looking at new ways to push the boundaries of environmental consciousness in sport It's also why we have chosen to partner with FGR, to help guide and push us to make doddl as environmentally friendly as possible.
