Balloon Recycling Australia was formed in November 2022 after months of researching if it was possible and how it was possible to recycle balloons of all types 
to create a sustainable balloon industry.

As Governments of all levels have started to legislate to ban balloons, considering them single use plastic, it became apparent that we, as an industry, must assure that balloons become recycled and up-cycled.
As of November 1st 2022, we started recycling balloons, over the next 12 months we will expand operations to offer balloon recycling to balloon decorators, retailers, party stores, manufacturers, distributors and the general public through a membership program, sponsorship program through a 3 phase process.
Our goal is to become completely sustainable so that balloons are here to be enjoyed for generations to come.

Various levels of Government have classified balloons as a single use plastic by considering them the same as plastic bags, coffee cup lids, straws, take away food containers and yet balloons are not plastic.

Latex balloons are made using the sap of a rubber tree which is sustainably harvested in many parts of the world and latex balloons are NOT single use plastic, yet they have been grouped together with oil based non biodegradable plastic items.

Plastics are derived from oil, they are a synthetic product, latex is derived from the sap of a rubber tree. ( See image to the left of an actual rubber tree harvesting natural latex ).

That said: Balloon Recycling Australia was created to recycle balloons to make our industry sustainable and our hope is to reverse the belief that balloons are single use plastic and overturn any bans that have been put on balloons on a local, state and federal level across all States of Australia.
