A party wouldn't be a party without balloons, and luckily we have a fantastic assortment of 100% biodegradable balloons and accessories, such as compostable ribbon that dissolves upon contact with water. All our latex balloons are made from high-quality natural latex, an organic material that is completely 100% biodegradable.

  • The natural product used in making balloons is derived from the sap of rubber trees.
  • Rubber trees combat greenhouse gases and slow down the greenhouse effect. And latex harvesting helps prevent deforestation.
  • Latex balloons break down as quickly as an oak leaf.
  • Globos reuses and recycles all plastics and paper products as much as possible in our day-to-day operations.

Stop! Releasing balloons

However, this does not mean that balloons should end up in nature, which is guaranteed to happen when you release a helium balloon! That balloon will eventually come back down and land in nature. And even though the balloons are biodegradable, you shouldn't want this. After all, you wouldn't just throw away a banana peel, would you? Furthermore, we absolutely want to prevent the risk of an animal choking or getting entangled in a balloon that has not yet fully biodegraded. Therefore, Globos discourages releasing helium balloons outdoors, in nature. We recommend properly disposing of used balloons, either in a compost heap where they have the best conditions to fully biodegrade within a few months, or in landfills where they can also safely break down.

In short: Feel free to use helium balloons in various balloon decorations and clean up after using them, but do not use helium balloons for releasing. And if you still want to release balloons into the air, make sure that the balloon decoration remains attached to a long string so that the entire decoration can be brought down and removed after use. Feel free to inquire about the options.

Foil balloons - the metallic balloons you find in hospitals - we ALWAYS provide with a balloon weight when we fill them with helium. This way, we ensure that they do not accidentally get released outside and end up in nature.

About us

Because of our work with the Rotterdam Balloon Company, we have the privilege of visiting the most beautiful places in Rotterdam and in addition to wanting to be the balloon specialist of the municipality of Rotterdam, we decided in 2022 to share my love for the city with others and to write a blog about Rotterdam.
