We are committed to the responsible use and disposal of balloons. Where possible, we stock only the highest-quality balloons, especially premium latex balloons. However, some accessories and party products, such as balloon sticks, are not biodegradable.

We kindly urge you to dispose of all waste responsibly and recycle where possible. Please avoid balloon releases under any circumstances. Helium-filled balloons should never be released outdoors, always ensure balloons are disposed of safely.

Latex Balloons

Our latex balloons are made from high-quality, natural rubber harvested from rubber tree plantations without harming the trees. Unlike plastic, latex is plant-based and biodegradable.

While latex balloons do break down over time, they don’t decompose quickly enough if littered and can pose risks to wildlife. Please dispose of balloons responsiblyin household waste and discard broken pieces immediately.

At Haflaty Store, we promote the responsible use and disposal of balloons to reduce environmental impact.

Note: Latex may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.

Foil & Plastic Bubble Balloons

In addition to latex, we also stock high-quality foil balloons and plastic bubble balloons. Unlike latex, these are made from man-made materials such as nylon with an aluminum coating, which do not break down easily. The good news is that foil balloons can often be reused or recycled. To dispose, cut open to release helium and discard in the trash, or recycle where facilities exist.

Our Stance on Balloon Releases

At Haflaty Store, we firmly believe in responsible balloon use. Releasing balloons into the environment, whether latex, foil, or bubble, can harm wildlife and marine life. Water slows down latex decomposition, and foil balloons never decompose, making them particularly harmful.

We do not condone or provide balloons for helium releases, nor recommend outdoor use on windy days. Please never release balloons outdoors,always secure and dispose of them properly.

At Haflaty Store, we are committed to the responsible use of balloons and encourage our community to do the same. Please never release balloons into the air. Once your event is over, responsibly dispose of them by deflating and cutting latex balloons, and removing ribbons or accessories before discarding.

Important Guidelines:

• Never release balloons into the atmosphere.
• Never inhale helium gas.
• Always use a balloon pump for inflation.
• Always secure helium-filled balloons with a weight to keep them grounded.
• Always dispose of balloons properly after use.
• Always supervise children when playing with balloons. Uninflated or broken balloons can pose a choking hazard, discard broken balloons immediately.
