Balloons and The Environment

Our Balloons Business & Our Impact On The Environment

As the Party Hut are members of the balloon industry ... we have concerns about the potential impact that balloon litter can have on the environment. Therefore, we have joined P.E.B.A. the Pro Environment Balloon Alliance


As members of P.E.B.A. we are committed to educating our customers about the responsible use of balloons and we are committed to reducing balloon litter. We promote responsible use and disposal of balloons and aim to eliminate the deliberate release of balloons.

The Law

In Queensland, Australia - the deliberate release of balloons is covered in its  legislation as an act of littering. Large fines apply. DON'T LITTER WITH BALLOONS! Don't say we didn't warn you.

Safe Balloon Practices

Just follow these easy tips below to be good for the environment.

 

Helium Filled Balloons

Because helium balloons float ...they can be tricky to contain. We all could relate to the story of a little child who has let go of a helium balloon that had no weight on it and they start crying as it floats away. Well that seemingly innocuous event can end up endangering wildlife if that balloon gets ingested.

So to address this fact, in mid 2022 we introduced our AIR FILLED balloon range. 

Helium is an expensive gas. By using less Helium we can give you more bang for your buck as air is free!

As we develop the air filled offering we are seeing more and more people take up these designs which make it fantastically easy to keep your balloons under control. They give great value for money without affecting the visual wow effect. And it's much safer for the environment.
