Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Thank you for visiting our page where you can find out more about how to reuse and recycle your Diddy Diners x Stroodles packaging. The information below has been split into our 2 product ranges: Eco Activity Kits and Eco Goody Bags.
If you have other ideas for how the packaging could be reused, please let us know and we will add it to this page along with your name and possibly a pic (if you like).
We hope you find the info helpful & that it inspires you to REUSE instead of or before you RECYCLE.
Outer sleeve
REUSE IDEAS:
a) Cut out Mr Stroodles (the yellow pasta straw man!) from the front. Perhaps you could use him as a bookmark?
b) Cut out the little globe with the heart and stick it onto your fridge as a daily reminder about the importance of looking after our planet.
c) Use the black and white stripes as a fun border for a toy racing track!
RECYCLING INFO: Fully recyclable so just pop in with household cardboard
Kraft outer box
REUSE IDEAS:
a) Use the box to store little bits and bobs in your bedroom. For example, colouring pencils, hair clips or small toys.
b) Use pencils/pens/paints to design the outside of the box. We would love to see a photo of any creations.
c) Stand the box on its end & decorate – it could be used as a hotel, fire station or something else in a toy city.
d) Keep the box safe and use it to package a homemade gift or to send something in the post.

Reusable, resealable bags (the ones with the dried flowers/cake mix/edible spoons inside)
REUSE IDEAS: Thanks to their clever sealing mechanism, these bags can be used over and over again. They are airtight when closed and food safe too. What could you put inside? Beads, small toys, little snacks?
RECYCLING INFO: Sadly, these bags cannot be recycled so please resuse them as much as you can. If you have any clever ideas for what to put inside we would love it if you tagged us @diddydiners and @stroodles on social media or email us.
Kraft ‘newspaper’ wrapping
REUSE IDEAS: We hope that you enjoy your copy of ‘Stroodly News’. As you will see there are activities for you to try as well as a colouring activity and information about a free app from our friends at Earth Cubs.
RECYCLING INFO: When you have finished with it just pop it in with your other household paper recycling.
Kraft bags
REUSE IDEAS:
a) Use the bag to store little bits and bobs in your bedroom. For example, colouring pencils, hair clips or small toys.
b) Use pencils/pens/paints to design the outside of the bag. We would love to see a photo of any creations.
c) Take the bag with you next time you go shopping. (Reusing bags of all types is a good idea).
d) Keep the bag safe and use it to package a homemade gift next time it’s someone’s birthday.
RECYCLING INFO: Fully recyclable in domestic recycling so just pop in with your household paper.
Activity booklet
REUSE IDEAS:
a) Cut out the second page and stick it to the fridge as a reminder of the importance of being kind to our planet.
b) Cut out the teal and yellow bunting and use to decorate home made cards. Or even use inside a dolls house?!
RECYCLING INFO: Fully recyclable so just pop in with your other household card.
