Our goal is to keep balloons out of the ocean as they are a top source of marine debris and threaten the lives of ocean animals and sea birds. We have created two solutions for party balloon pollution. 1) The Latex Lad, a fully thought-out, optimized, field-tested, and mass manufacturable product ready to hit the shelves with future funding and minor development in the adhesive realm. 2) The Mylar Mate, a mid- stage prototype that functions as a proof of concept to prevent accidental mylar release. When released, these balloons will float but not fly away.
