Frenchies Balloon Creations are all about being green, even if you want

your balloons to be purple!

​

We only use air filled latex balloons.

​

Latex is a naturally occurring product, it's 100% bio-degradable and environmentally

friendly.  Latex comes from the rubber plant, a tropical tree native to South America and now cultivated throughout the world.

​

How Latex Breaks Down.

​

Exposure to water, sunlight and soil cause latex to break down at approximately the same rate as an oak leaf and faster than a piece of wood.

​

The process of decomposition starts at the time the balloon is made.  After a latex balloon is inflated, it develops a patina, which is oxidation of the latex.  Once a balloon pops or deflates, it degrades just like any other organic substance.

​

The rate of decomposition depends on the conditions of exposure.  A controlled study demonstrated that under most conditions, latex balloon pieces are almost completely degraded within six weeks.
