Eco Mojo Novelty Latex Balloons – Biodegradable, British Made
Biodegradable balloons made in the UK from latex.
General Information:Available in red heart shape, skull and crossbones or Happy Birthday (in a variety of colours).
Latex balloons are produced from the milky sap of the rubber tree, hevea brasillensis. It is grown on plantations in many tropical countries. The plantations help the ecosystem, as the natural biology of the trees helps maintain our atmosphere and protect the ozone layer.
The sap is collected in buckets, as it drips from harmless cuts in the bark. The use of latex balloons and other latex products make rubber trees economically valuable, which discourages people from cutting them down and provides a valuable revenue to many third world countries. Latex is a 100% natural substance that breaks down in sunlight and water. The degradation process begins almost immediately after the balloon is manufactured. Research has shown that latex balloons biodegrade at about the same rate as an oak leaf.
