 Single-use water balloons produce over 3.2 billion pieces of rubbish each year.

EcoSplat is changing that with reusable water balloons: more fun, no rubbish.

Made from polyester -

EcoSplat Reusable Water Balloons are designed to replace single-use water balloons which break into pieces and litter our gardens and parks. Each year over 3.2 billion pieces of rubbish are created by single-use water balloons and packaging.

In creating a reusable alternative to one of the most popular toys we were faced with the challenge of producing a product that works as well, or better, than regular water balloons. It had to absorb lots of water and release it in a big splat. It was also important that the balloons didn’t hurt when they landed. For practical reasons the materials also had to be readily available and affordable.

deally we would want a material that was reusable and then biodegradable at the end of its life, but cotton and wool didn’t work: they didn’t absorb much water or release it quickly. Another major problem with cotton and wool is because they are much slower to dry they are more likely to go mouldy.  And of course we don’t want reusable products to biodegrade while they are still in use.

The material that worked the best was polyester. Polyester absorbs a lot of water and releases it quickly so the splats are even better than regular water balloons (and you get 6 splats before you need to re-dunk!) It dries quickly and doesn’t go mouldy. The material is soft and the balloons don’t hurt when they land.

In a circular economy we are aiming to keep resources and materials in use for as long as possible. Single-use products in a linear economy create bigger problems than reusable items made from non-biodegradable materials.
