Pressmedelande KIMO – konfetti och ballongsläpp

This KIMO Sweden press release highlights the problems caused by plastic confetti and balloon releases during celebrations and school events. It explains how plastic confetti can break down into microplastics and enter waterways and the sea, while balloons and their fragments can be ingested by animals or cause harm through ingestion and entanglement. KIMO encourages the public to choose more environmentally friendly alternatives, including rice, flower petals and biodegradable confetti, and to avoid balloon releases. The resource is intended to raise awareness, encourage behavioural change and support municipal environmental communication and planning.
