Sustainability

  • Our Commitment

    We set out on a mission to help our clients celebrate anything, anywhere, effortlessly. And while we innovated and modernized the party industry, we noticed ways our industry could be harmful to the environment.

    As we grow and learn more, we take conscious steps to reduce our footprint.

  • Biodegradable Balloons

    We use 100% plant-based latex & biodegradable balloons

    We source and use latex balloons from suppliers that offer 100% biodegradable natural latex. This means our balloons do not have added chemicals and can decompose over time. They still require proper disposal, so make sure to deflate your balloons & put in your trash… better yet cut them into smaller pieces and place in your compost.

  • No Release policy

    We strictly adhere to a no-release balloon policy. None of our products are designed or marketed to be released. We always weight our balloons and include a weight in the bag with our ceiling balloons to prevent accidental release. Please never release balloons into the air.

  • Recycle Foil Balloons

    Foil balloons have a metal coating and cannot be recycled as plastic in standard facilities. Party Hero partners with a third party recycling company who specializes in recycling these items. Save your foils and give them to us at pick up or your next party and we will recycle them for you!

  • Reuse & Recycle

    We always reuse whenever possible…we reuse our bags, balloons weights, floral boxes, foil balloons and balloon equipment. We sort & recycle paper, plastic, foam & cardboard in our production hubs and offices. We also pay for a special third party service that specializes in recycling our foil/mylar balloons.

  • The Future

    Here’s what we will continue to work to bring into action:

    Continue to eliminate Floral Foam & work to be 100% foam-free.

    Eliminate Balloon Poles from Production on certain products.

    Increase helium-free options.

    In every order, we will provide dedicated bags and instructions on how to dispose of balloons properly.

    Videos educating proper disposal accessible to everyone

    Eco-friendly Strike and Tear Down Option

    Implement a composting procedure/protocol for Floral Waste in Production

HOW YOU CAN PARTY RESPONSIBLY:

How to properly dispose of latex balloons:

Our latex balloons are made from 100% biodegradable latex. We source only the highest quality latex balloons ensuring they are not mixed with fillers of added substitutes, some lower quality balloons are mixed with plastics. You can either throw them in your garbage bag after deflating, or even better cut them into small pieces and throw them into your compost bin.

How to properly dispose of foil/mylar balloons:

Foil balloons have a metal coating and cannot be recycled in standard facilities. You can either deflate your foil balloons and put them into the trash or you can give them back to us at pick up or your next party and we will recycle them with a special third party recycling center who is able to properly recycle them.

How to properly dispose of floral foam:

Floral Foam is not compostable, however, you can reuse it. We suggest reusing at least 1 more time. Once you are ready to dispose of, please place trash. Floral Foam should not be placed in the compost or garden.

Other items you can recycle/reuse:

Most of our paper party supplies can be recycled. Please make sure to follow the instructions on the box on how to properly dispose of them. Our custom tassels can be reused for future celebrations or decor. You can also return weights & column poles and we will reuse them.
