How does
circularity
work?

Think of it like a library, but for toys. You pick what you want, play with it as long as you like, then swap it for something new when you're ready.

Every toy that comes back to us gets cleaned, checked and sent off to bring joy to another family. It's that simple. The longer each toy stays in circulation, the less waste we create together.

Toy life cycle

toy
1
Buy new
Shiny and exciting. Costs anywhere from £10 to £100+. Sometimes it's exactly what they wanted. Sometimes it's not…
2
Play (maybe)
If you're lucky, it gets a few months of love. More often? A week or two. Then interests change, they grow out of it, or it just gets forgotten.
3
Gather dust
Into the cupboard it goes. Or the loft. Or that corner of the playroom nobody looks at. Still perfectly good, just not being used, or loved.
4
Landfill
Eventually it gets thrown away. Around 40 million toys in the UK every year end up there. Made from plastic that'll outlive us all

Our impact stories

The longer we keep toys in circulation, the more we reduce their environmental footprint. And the more families who join us, the bigger difference we make.
Real families, real impact. This is what sharing looks like.

My family and I have been Whirli customers for years and we love it. We’ve used the baby toys all the way through to the older kid stuff, and we have the biggest subscription.
