As proud members of PEBA, we are committed to the responsible use and disposal of balloons. Where possible, we try to stock the highest quality balloons available, especially quality latex balloons. Unfortunately many balloon accessories and party products are not biodegradable, such as balloon sticks, among other things.
We urge you to dispose your waste responsibly and recycle where possible. We encourage you not to endorse or undertake balloon releases and our message to customers is “Don’t let go”. Please NEVER release any helium-filled balloon and dispose of balloons responsibly.
Latex Balloons
We use high quality latex. The cheaper balloons are cut with plastic. Latex balloons are not plastic. They are a plant-based product, made from natural rubber harvested from Rubber Tree Plantations. Latex
is extracted without harming the rubber tree. As latex balloons are made from natural rubber, they can breakdown. However, when balloons become litter, they don't degrade sufficiently or quickly enough to prevent posing a risk or harm to wildlife.
Latex balloons can decompose over time so you can safely dispose of them in your household waste where they will decompose in landfill. Discard broken balloons immediately. Haflaty Store promotes the responsible use and disposal of balloons without compromising the environment.
CAUTION:Some people are allergic to natural latex rubber. Products containing latex rubber may cause allergic reactions.
Foil & Plastic Bubble Balloons
We sell good quality latex balloons, foil balloons and plastic bubble balloons. However, foil balloons are made of man-made materials such as nylon with aluminum coating. These materials do not decompose easily or quickly. However, foil balloons can be reused or recycled. Dispose foil balloons by cutting them open to release helium and then discard in a trash or recycling container if available.
Our Stance - Balloon Releases
Balloons released into the environment via helium releases or otherwise can find their way into our oceans. Water will slow down the breakdown of the latex and that means they can have a negative impact on the environment including posing a threat to wildlife.
We do not condone or knowingly provide balloons for balloon releases, or the use of balloons outdoors on windy days. Balloons should never be released outdoors.
Haflaty Store is committed to the responsible use of balloons. Please do not release your balloons in the air once you have finished with them. We encourage you to responsibly dispose your balloons after your event. Please remember to deflate and cut latex balloons and remove all ribbon and additional materials before discarding them. We urge our customers and other members of our community to share our commitment by not releasing balloons into the environment. When handling balloons, always remember:
Never release balloons into the atmosphere.
Never inhale helium gas.
Always use a balloon pump to inflate your balloons.
Always secure helium-filled balloons with a weight. Keep balloons on the ground.
Alwaysdispose balloons properly when you're done.
Alwayskeep children safe when playing with balloons. Children can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons. Adult supervision required. Keep uninflated balloons from children. Discard broken balloons at once.
Many things can go wrong at a party. Laxity in exercising caution is one of them. Below are some tips on how to safely use sparkler candles.
Sparkler Candles
Sparkler candles look amazing both in pictures and in person. They are cool accessories used for cakes and other celebrations. Purchasing good quality candle sparklers and knowing how to properly use it will ensure a safe, healthy and fun experience.
Here are a few basic tips to help you keep things safe and sound;
Keep Distance:Sparklers are hot and need to be used away from objects and other people. Do not hold other items while holding a lit sparkler, particularly children or babies. Avoid crowded places while using sparklers.
Be Responsible:Don’t wave it near objects or people, and make sure it is held away from your body at all times. Don’t poke, jab or direct sparklers at another person. Don’t raise sparklers over head or at eye level.
Dangerous Objects: Avoid handling lighted sparklers near highly flammable or combustible material. Avoid playing lighted sparklers indoors with insufficient ventilation (including air conditioned rooms) or anywhere near ventilation grills.
Safely Dispose:Best disposed of by either dipping used sparklers into a bucket of water, or they can be thrown into an empty metal bucket. Make sure sparklers are fully extinguished and cooled before disposing of into the garbage bins.
Adult Supervision Required:Any child playing with sparklers must be closely supervised by an adult. Show children how to hold sparklers away from their body and at arm’s length. Do not allow children to run with lit sparklers, or wave them near other people or objects.
Chemicals in Sparklers: Sparkler candles are genuinely safe as they do not emit any strong residue. All sparklers are not created equal! Some are toxic and should not be used on food. All sparklers throw off small particles of metal, which can land on the cake. Food grade sparklers are more likely to be safe than sparklers from a fireworks store. Those found in party stores are food safe sparklers.
