Are latex balloons bio-degradable?

Latex balloons are made from 100% natural latex harvested from the bark of the rubber tree. These balloons are bio-degradable under normal environmental conditions. Caring for our environment and the nature that surrounds us is very important to us as a company. We recommend that balloons are not released into the air due to the potential danger for birds and animals, from both the balloon and the balloon ribbon, once the balloons reach the ground.
