ZURU Bunch O Balloons™ Recycling Program
Recycle your used Bunch O Balloons™ stems, balloon pieces and packaging through this program!
Celebrate sustainably with Bunch O Balloons™ - now recyclable through TerraCycle
The ZURU Bunch O Balloons™ Recycling Program will close on October 1, 2021 with shipping labels no longer available after 30 September.
Good news - you can continue to recycle balloons through our Party Decorations Zero Waste Box™. It’s easy and super convenient!
TerraCycle and ZURU have partnered to create a free recycling program for used Bunch O Balloons™ stems, balloon pieces and balloon packaging.
Once you've finished using your Bunch O Balloons™ products, refer to our accepted waste and send to us for recycling.
How it works
Participating in your home, office, school or organisation is completely free and very easy.
Create a free TerraCycle account online and join the Bunch O Balloons™ Recycling Program. Collect your used Bunch O Balloons™ products and packaging in any box. When you are ready to send a shipment, download a shipping label from your TerraCycle account by clicking “Request a postage label” and follow the prompts. Print out your label and tape it securely onto your box. Ship the box to TerraCycle by dropping it off at your nearby post office.

- Bunch O Balloons™ Water and Party foilbag packaging as shown above
- Bunch O Balloons™ Water and Party balloons (including rubber bands on water balloons/ribbons on party balloons)

What happens to the waste
Once collected, the waste is sorted and cleaned. The latex is cryo-milled and pulverised into a fine powder which can be further used in manufacturing. The plastic components are melted into pellets that can be remoulded to make new recycled products. Click here for more information about our recycling process.
