WHAT ARE BALLOONS MADE FROM FROM ?

Today's latex balloons are 100 per cent natural and are made from the milky sap obtained from natural rubber trees {Hevea Brasillensis}. 
There are cheaper balloons on the market made with a mixture of rubber etc but they do not biodegrade.
WE ONLY USE 100% Natural Latex Balloons that are Biodegradable.

The rubber tree originated in the tropical forests of South America and was taken to Europe from Brazil - hence the Latin name.    It is now grown on plantations in many tropical countries.   The latex is collected in buckets, as it drips from harmless cuts in the bark (a process much like the one used to collect maple syrup).   This sap is used to make latex balloons and other products, such as surgical gloves and condoms, which make rubber trees economically valuable, which discourages people from cutting them down and provides a environmentally friendly and valuable revenue to many third world countries.
