Qualatex take great pride in the origin of their raw materials. Their latex supplier provides housing, schools, hospitals, and community centers for tens of thousands of individuals across their plantations. They work alongside community members to identify opportunities for education and growth by supporting local farmers to reforest degraded land and develop sustainable farms as well as supporting the socio-economic development of over 40 local and indigenous communities neighboring their plantations.

Qualatex latex balloons have been tested and proven to be made with Natural Rubber Latex as the only polymer. No other polymers or plastics are added or are present in testing.

Qualatex latex balloons contain a minimum of 91% latex polymer, with the remainder made up of additives for strength, elasticity, color, and shelf life stability. 

Their latex balloons are made from Natural Rubber Latex (NRL). Latex is harvested by tapping the rubber tree in a manner that does not harm the tree. Each tree—and there are billions—consumes CO₂, thus When latex is processed, each part of the product is used. After the tree no longer produces latex, it is harvested and its wood turned into lumbar . Each year mature trees are tapped, old trees are harvested, does not harm the tree, reducing global warming.
New trees are planted, and CO₂ is consumed.
 

Pioneer is committed to creating moments of joy and happiness, in a sustainable and responsible way. Their latex balloons are madefrom natural polymers,
harvested from the Hevea rubber tree, and we are proactively engaged to minimise carbon emissions along our entire value chain. A Partnership for Sustainability
