World's First Biodegradable Balloon | UK News

Born from a party planner’s frustration with balloon litter harming marine life, this eco-friendly twist isn’t pricier or harder to inflate than regular balloons. The secret?

With balloon fragments posing a deadly threat to seabirds, this innovation could revolutionize celebrations — and might even make its way into gloves, medical gear, and condoms within two years.
