• Only latex balloons are used by professionals in mass releases. Industry guidelines require these balloons to be self-tied and have no attached strings or ribbons — each released balloon is 100 percent biodegradable.

3Rarely do released balloons return to the earth’s surface intact. Studies show these balloons usually rise to an altitude of about five miles. At that point, freezing and air pressure causes “brittle fracture”
creating spaghetti-like pieces that scatter to the four winds.

While some balloons don’t reach this altitude, research indicates that in an average 500-balloon release, the unexploded balloon return density is no greater than one per 15 square miles.

Latex balloons come from rubber trees. Latex is collected by cutting the tree’s bark,
then catching the latex in a cup.
Latex balloons are earth-friendly! Rubber trees grow in rain forests.
Latex harvesting discourages deforestation because latex-producing
trees are left intact. A tree can produce latex for up to 40 years!
