ZURU Removes Over 1,200 Tons of Plastic From Bunch O Balloons Water Balloons

22 April, 2021 by KatBp 30 Comments

For the celebration of Earth Day/Month from day-to-day operations to leading the change in the toy industry, ZURU operates with a continued commitment to a sustainable future! Leading global manufacturer ZURU® announced today that the company’s deliberate 360-degree sustainability initiatives have led to over 1,200 tons of virgin plastic being removed from its top-selling and 100% recyclable Bunch O BalloonsTM brand. The huge 57% increase over ZURU’s original goal of 800 tons announced last year is a result of robust 2021 retail orders.

Over 704 million balloons in ZURU’s Bunch O Balloons line distributed online through Amazon are now made with recycled (non-virgin) plastics, and will also ship with ZURU’s new recyclable, frustration-free packaging (FFP) that will reduce excess Bunch O Balloons packaging materials, and which the company estimates will result in another 29 tons of plastic being saved through Amazon sales in the United States this year alone.

With Crazy ZURU Bunch O Balloons Water, each stem comes with a completely new mix of multi-colored balloons for added backyard water excitement.  All ZURU Bunch O Balloons™ products in the USA, Canada, U.K., Australia and New Zealand will be fully recyclable through their new TerraCycle Recycling program. Consumers simply sign-up online, package all their used Bunch O Balloons packaging and balloon pieces then ship to TerraCycle, where they will then be processed and recycled into new materials.  Ages 3+, SRP $7.99, Available at Target, Amazon and Walmart!
