Latex Balloons
Did you know that latex is natural?
It comes from the rubber tree and is harvested using a process that does not harm the tree. Only mature trees are tapped for their sap and with care they can produce latex for many years. As a natural product, latex balloons are biodegradable & compostable, so when you are finished with your balloons, please dispose of them responsibly.

begin​ to wrinkle as they gradually deflate. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable as the countdown on the balloons life begins. Latex balloons will take on a velvety, matte appearance as the oxidisation process begins.​​
