Conventional petro-chemical Mylar foil balloons are
not recyclable via curbside municipal collection because the laminated layers (BOPET, aluminum, and polyethylene) cannot be separated. They are also non-biodegradable and persist in landfills or the ocean indefinitely, fragmenting into dangerous microplastics. However, FAIR's breakthrough
PLA-PBAT-nanoclay eco-films are fully biodegradable and industrially compostable. Backed by verified
SGS Composting Validation Dossiers (EN 13432 & ASTM D6400), our eco-friendly foil balloons achieve complete biological mineralization into water, carbon dioxide, and organic biomass within
180 days in an industrial composting facility.
