Celebrate effortlessly. Recycle responsibly.

OUR
COMMITMENT
We set out on a mission to help our clients celebrate anything, anywhere, effortlessly. And while we innovated and modernized the party industry, we noticed ways our industry could be harmful to the environment.
As we grew and learned more, we took conscious steps to reduce our footprint.

We imposed on ourselves better, more sustainable standards,
so we can all enjoy guilt-free #partypeace
WE'RE PROUD OF THE
STEPS WE'VE TAKEN
SO FAR:
We use 100% plant-based latex & biodegredable balloons
We source and use latex balloons from suppliers that offer 100% biodegradable natural latex. This means our balloons do not have added chemicals and can decompose over time. They still require proper disposal, so make sure to deflate your balloons & put in your trash… better yet cut them into smaller pieces and place in your compost.
No release policy
We strictly adhere to a no-release balloon policy. None of our products are designed or marketed to be released. We always weight our balloons and include a weight in the bag with our ceiling balloons to prevent accidental release. Please never release balloons into the air.
We use balloon gas, not medical helium
We never use medical helium to inflate our balloons. Balloon Gas is a by-product gathered during the production of medical grade helium. The majority of liquid helium boils off in the transfer process. Instead of wasting this resource, it is collected and recycled.
We innovate to eliminate the use of harmful materials
80% of our Les Fleurs line products are foam free. When we set out to create our new Ready-to-Party floral products, we made a bold choice to eliminate the use of floral foam in as many of our products as possible. We are proud to have found new, innovative ways to create beautiful floral arrangements in a more sustainable way.
We invest in recycling foil balloons
Foil balloons have a metal coating and cannot be recycled as plastic in standard facilities. Paris312 partners with a third party recycling company who specializes in recycling these items. Currently, you can drop off your used foil balloons at Paris312 during our opening hours so we can properly recycle them.
We always resuse & recycle
We always reuse whenever possible…we reuse our bags, balloons weights, floral boxes, foil balloons and balloon equipment. We sort & recycle paper, plastic, foam & cardboard in our production hubs and offices. We also pay for a special third party service that specializes in recycling our foil/mylar balloons.
HERE'S WHAT'S ON OUR HORIZON
FOR AN EVEN BETTER FUTURE:
Continue to eliminate Floral Foam & work to be 100% foam-free.
Eliminate Balloon Poles from Production on certain products.
Increase helium-free options.
In every order, we will provide dedicated bags and instructions on how to dispose of balloons properly.
Videos educating proper disposal accessible to everyone (Whether you're a Paris312 client or not!)
Eco-friendly Strike and Tear Down Option
Implement a composting procedure/protocol for Floral Waste in Production
More locations for people to drop-off foils, weight, poles and other items we can reuse or properly dispose of
Introduce Hybrid Vehicles in our fleet
