Partly.

It is stated that sky lanterns are fully biodegradable. The rice paper biodegrades within "6 to 8 weeks" and flourished wire takes 9 months to break down.

But this is just what manufacturers claim and it's not facts proved to society.

Anyway, if it is true we should think about the harm the wire could make to animals or even people before it rusts away. Plus lanterns cause a fire when it lands alight on moorlands, woods or even somebody's house.

Are sky lanterns legal in US?

As of November 2011 they seem to be as they are openly advertised. However, the fact that they are free floating fire carriers I question how long this will remain so. Not only because of the fire risk to fields, and woodlands in dry conditions but also the fact that (according to the advertising) they rise a mile or more in the air and would seem to pose a possible hazard to air traffic. Simply because of these two facts I question their continued legality for sale.

Are sky lanterns legal in Las Vegas nv?

Sky lanterns are not legal in Utah or any other state that has adopted the International Fire Code (IFC). While not specifically identifying sky lanterns the definition of a recreational fire would fit what a sky lantern is. The IFC states that all Recreational Fires must be attended by a person at all times until they are completely extinguished.Since a sky lantern is allowed to float away as the air inside the lantern rises in temperature, the flame inside the sky lantern cannot be constantly attended by a person until it is extinguished. The sky lantern is free to float to where ever the air currents take it.The bad part of it is that it may become caught in a tree or on a house or other object and spread it's fire to what ever it gets caught in. This could be a tragic event caused by something that seemed so harmless. Whoever lit the sky lantern would be held responsible for damages caused by their sky lantern.
