All these latex balloon displays are
environmentally POSITIVE.
For 29 years we have supplied the Coffs Coast with
latex biodegradable balloons made from the sap of the
rubber tree. The trees draw CO2 from the atmosphere
and lock it away. Over a lifetime they sequester
enormous amounts of CO2. We have called these
balloons E+.
Your balloons are the reason many additional
thousands of hectares of rubber trees are planted and
tendered each year in the tropical rainforests of the
world.
A rubber tree has a productive working life of about 30
years, after which it is cut down and usually used for
timber furniture and construction, locking away around
1200 ton/ha of CO2*.
We collect any display frames and use them again and
again.
Balloon necks are hand tied in these displays. There
are NO plastic clips - NO synthetic strings. The balloons
are filled ONLY with air.
We collect all the latex waste and dispose of it in a
responsible way - it is used to make biodegradable
garden compost.
AND nothing pollutes our waterways or gets in the sea.
