We will follow the guidelines set by the Japan Balloon Association under the guidance of experts, and we use balloons made of 100% naturally degradable latex material and water-soluble paper strings, giving full consideration to the environment and wildlife.
The balloons to be used are environmentally friendly, and break up into pieces after ascending to an altitud e of 8,000 meters, and decompose in sunlight or by microorganisms.
