are these lanterns bio degrateable? Can they be flown over water

Hello, the Lanterns can not be flown on water,it made with fireproof papers.

Unfortunately the lanterns are not fully biodegradable due to the metal wire needed to hold the fuel cell in place.

Unless you install the wick yourself and them tape up the holes they won't fly anywhere. Don't waist your money with this product, purchase another type from another vendor.

They are wonderful We used them this past summer while trekking in Dingle Way in Ireland. They were God sent. They are moisture resistant. Just wipe them clean for later use. Without them. we would have experienced great problem during our nine days of trek in the mountains and valleys of the Emerald Island.

Yes. But put some weight in there with the chairs. They blow away pretty easily. We are at Hatteras island right now and left ours at home on purpose. It's just too winy here. We have used ours on St. Simons ISLAND Georgia with just a backpack of water and drinks and a beach bag with towels to hold it down.

They are not advertised as being biodegradable. If they were, it is likely that they would be ballyhoo'd as such.

It is quite possible that they will fly not only over the pond but far beyond that dry pasture as well. Warmer weather will definitely help it to float away. we did ours when it was much much cooler outside and they didn't work as well.

No. They are canvas and would not hold up to being outside for that amount of time.They are perfect for their intended use.

You can plant them in the ground but they will never biodegrade unfortunately. Switch to deep water culture to help environment.

Hi Gina: I would say they are recyclable, as they are made of a mesh material. Can't answer about they being biodegradable.

They vary in size but the ones mostly used are about the size of a pillow case or larger. As fun as they are to float, You must be careful because they do come back down when the flame goes out. They are fragile in that the tissue will easily tear while you are opening them. The end result is a beautiful site. Don't be fooled by the pictures...if you want to get that many lanterns in the sky you will need enough people to help. It takes patience. Not on a windy day.

those are sky lanterns. but beware. I bought mine and didn't use them for a few months, due to bad weather, and when I took them out, they wouldn't fly, as the wax had melted (i stored them in a cool place)

No, I do not believe for a minute these could be used in marine, underwater or heavy water environment. Just don't believe it is possible. Moisture ok perhaps, but not exposed to direct water or immersion.

Our lights are 100% waterproof (rated IPX-7) up to 1 meter deep and float on top of the water when inflated. If there are any other questions/concerns, please reach us at orders@luminaid.com and we would be happy to help!Thank you,Team LuminAID

We let our sky lanterns go at our farm. They sailed away over the pastures and tree tops. It is an exciting, yet slightly scary thing to watch. They take off quick. The heat and fire keeps them floating until the flame goes out. I would be sure to avoid any close trees and if it is drought conditions, I would be worried. We have set them off twice and it was a big success. Be sure to have one person be the lighter, have two people per lantern, and follow the directions....they are beautiful! :)

Probably not. Most biodegradable balloons I've seen are made from latex, but I've done some research and it looks like "biodegradable" balloons still take a long time to decompose and can still damage the environment if not picked up. I would recommend finding some standard mylar balloons and just picking them up when you're done. That way you'll get your latex free solution and still have a better impact on the environment than those just leaving latex balloons around.

They are not biodegradable or flushable, unfortunately... don't think they're compostable but I don't know much about composting...

Yes you can, they're water proff up to 15m, I have used them when I use my seadoos.
