Water balloons are banned at the campsite I’m going to - can I use EcoSPLAT! Balloons? Yes! Single-use water balloons are banned at campsites because of the rubbish they make. But EcoSPLAT! reusable water balloons don’t create rubbish, so you can use them at campsites.
Can I use them at the beach? Yes, but please keep them away from the ocean so they don’t wash away - we don’t want them floating in the sea.
Are water balloons biodegradable? Single-use water balloons are made of latex which is made from natural rubber. Natural latex is biodegradable but after adding chemicals, plasticisers and dyes balloons are no longer biodegradable. When they are in the environment they slowly break down into tiny pieces which can be ingested by animals. Balloons can last years in the environment in which time they can be mistaken by animals as food, blocking intestines and causing animals to starve.
Are water balloons bad for the environment? Single-use water balloons are bad for the environment, littering our gardens, parks and beaches with small bits of plastic that can be mistaken for food by wildlife (including your dog!) causing choking or blocking their intestines.
