Chinese lanterns and the Environment

When planning a celebration with Chinese lanterns, the last thing you want on your conscience is the thought that the remains of the lanterns may be detrimental to the natural world. Our lanterns burn out completely whilst still in the sky, the paper dissolving without a trace, and thus leave minimal material to come back down to earth, which will then biodegrade. With no mess to worry about clearing up post-celebration, Chinese lanterns are the perfect addition to a party where, quite frankly, no one wants to do the boring bit after the night is over.
For more safety tips and information about our lanterns, including how they should be lit and in what conditions it is safe to release them, please do have a look at our FAQs and safety tips on our website. Here you’ll find tips that should definitely be read prior to the release of your lanterns, to keep yourself and anyone else around, completely safe.
