Canberra Balloons does not condone and will not be part of any deliberate release of balloons into the atmosphere.
Our foil balloons are made from plastic that have a metallic coating on the outside. They are not biodegradable. However, foil balloons are reusable, and we encourage our customers to deflate them after the event and retain for future use.

Please refrain from using helium-filled balloons outdoors, as they may accidentally escape. At Canberra Balloons, we suggest decorating outdoors with air-filled balloons instead.
Ensure all helium-filled balloons are attached to an anchor to prevent them from accidentally flying away.
Canberra Balloons Safety Information
To make your balloons float, they are filled with helium. Helium is a non-toxic, non-flammable gas that is safe for the environment. Please do not inhale helium. When helium is inhaled, it fills the lungs, taking the place of the oxygen your lungs need.
Young children could choke or be suffocated by an uninflated balloon or a piece of a broken balloon. Adults should inflate balloons and supervise their use with children. Discard broken balloons immediately. Balloon clips can also become a choking hazard and should not be used when the balloons are intended for children.
A small percentage of the population may be allergic to a protein in latex. For this reason, we recommend sending bouquets of foil balloons to hospitals or to those known to have this allergy.
