Environmental The sap from Rubber Trees is harvested for the manufacturing of latex balloons. Rubber Tree Plantation and the Rain Forests are the main source of these Rubber Trees. The Plantations help maintain our atmosphere and protect the ozone layer. In the Rain Forest, the Rubber Trees survive local deforestation because sap harvested is more profitable then cutting down the trees. Biodegradability Our latex balloons are 100% biodegradable. The
degradation process begins almost immediately.
If you have an outside event you will see the oxidation (frosting) process
start within a couple of hours. Exposure the sunlight quickens the
process. Under similar conditions latex
balloons will biodegrade at about the same rate as on oak leaf.

aluminum foil these balloon are not
biodegradable.
