2. Transparency

At Folat we want to be as transparent as possible. This includes communicating the materials used to create a product, the production processes and the working conditions that comply with standards of the BSCI. We are proud to share our sustainability goals and achievements.

3. Research & Development (R&D)

Folat is constantly searching for innovations meeting the sustainability needs we face today and in the future. Our approach is to create products that have considered the environmental, social and economic impacts. At the top of our roadmap is changing the paper used in our product packaging to FSC paper and eliminating the use of plastic where possible. Besides the third party certifications, we also use our own doodles on the packaging to make sure the customer is aware of the benefits of saving a box or recycling.

All our Premium Latex Balloons are packed in 100% FSC paper packaging

Did you know that latex balloons are made from natural latex rubber harvested from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree? 

In 2022 we will launch a sustainable party range!

Glitter is in fact microplastics. Our newly introduced products will therefore no longer contain glitter. But we will cover our new products with amazing sparkling designs.
