Our approach to sustainability
At Betallic, we think a lot about the balance between joy and responsibility. Balloons are meant to lift a moment, not weigh on the planet, so we’ve been intentional about the partners we work with and the materials behind our products.
Our foil balloons are made in Italy by Grabo S.R.L., a company that keeps production close to home so they can control quality and avoid anything toxic or questionable in the process. They care about the people making the balloons as much as the balloons themselves, which lines up with how we like to work.
Our latex balloons come from Sempertex in Colombia. They make their balloons from natural rubber latex, straight from rubber trees, not plastics; and they’ve built a thoughtful environmental system around how they source, process, and clean their materials.
We know how important responsible celebration is, so we work with manufacturers who put care into every part of the process. Better materials, safer production, and thoughtful use all add up to the kind of moments we can feel good about making.
Why our latex balloons are a more responsible choice
Latex balloons naturally start with a renewable material, rubber trees, which continue to grow and produce latex for years. Sempertex keeps their formulas clean, avoiding fillers or plasticizers that slow breakdown. Their facilities run under ISO environmental guidelines, and they treat their water and energy usage as part of the process, not an afterthought.
Distributors who carry Sempertex often point out the same things: these balloons are biodegradable, made from pure latex, and free from the additives that complicate disposal. Many also note that latex breaks down in a way similar to other natural materials when it’s handled properly.
For us, this means our latex line reflects:
A renewable raw material
Cleaner formulations
Environmental certifications
A supply chain that values education around proper use and disposal
