Balloon Environmental Impact 

​Members of the balloon industry share concerns about the environmental impacts of marine debris. The controversy continues however about the actual level of risk or harm to marine life from balloon litter. (Click photo below for more information)

The Pro Environment Balloon Alliance (PEBA) is driving environmentally responsible change and is committed to reducing balloon litter and any potential effects on wildlife by eliminating the deliberate release of balloons. 

We believe in doing our part by making socially and environmentally responsible choices.​​ Party Themes is committed to environmentally responsible change and is also committed to reducing balloon litter and any potential effects on wildlife by eliminating the deliberate release of balloons. However, many people have the wrong perception that modern balloons are bad for our environment. In some cases this is true, depending on the material used to make the balloon. In our case, all of our balloons are made with a 100% biodegradable Latex material.​ 

Latex is not the same as Plastic.

​When latex balloons are handled properly, they are Eco-friendly, starting with how they are made and ending with how they are discarded. Eliminating the deliberate release of balloons and promoting the responsible use and disposal is vital for effective environmentally responsible change. A balance is required to develop policies that are environmentally responsible, that are commensurate with the actual level of impact and do not unnecessarily deprive balloon artists and small business owners of their livelihoods.

Did You Know?

1. The natural product used in making balloons is extracted from the sap of rubber trees.
2. Rubber trees combat greenhouse gases, slowing global warming. And latex harvesting helps prevent deforestation.
3. Our balloons are 100% biodegradable and break down at the same rate as an oak leaf.
4. Party Themes reuses and recycles any plastics and paper products as much as possible in our daily operations.
