With such a push against single use plastic and mirco plastics etc. Why is glitter left untouched? surely it has to be one of the worse plastic pollutants. Currently getting our Christmas shop ready, and its on everything and gets everywhere!

    I thought i read somewhere that the biggest consumers of glitter are the auto makers because it’s in nearly all the paint.

      That sparkly quartz kitchen top? Yeah…crushed quartz and glitter to make it sparkle. As I said, it’s everywhere.

      • Interesting. Not surprising, but that’s one I didn’t think about.

        Still, that’s one use that’s not making anything worse, right? I mean, that counter is going to be used for decades, and when it does go to the landfill, the glitter in it is hardly going to make a difference.
