BALLOONS & OUR ENVIRONMENT

As 100% latex balloons are biodegradable and naturally return into the environmental system around us, there is absolutely no danger to the environment, to animals (land or sea) by releasing bulk helium balloons into the sky.  Latex balloons do not choke animals (unlike plastic rubbish) and do not add to landfill like plastic bags !

Rubber trees, from which the latex for balloons is harvested, are one of the main forms of vegetation in tropical rainforests, which in recent years have become crucial to maintaining the earth's fragile ecological balance.    Harvesting latex can be more profitable to poor third world nations than raising cattle on the deforested land.

Even when the trees producing latex for balloon manufacturing grow on plantations instead of in rainforests, they help the ecosystem, as the natural biology of the trees helps maintain our atmosphere and protect the ozone layer.  The demand for latex balloons actually is a huge contributor to a more positive environment in which global warming is increasingly worrying scientists and environmentalists.  The balloon industry worldwide requires the latex from 16-million rubber trees that, in total, take up more than 363-million kilograms of CO₂ gases annually from the earth’s atmosphere.

At Balloon Kings we are proud to only use 100% Latex Biodegradable Balloons.
