Seeing the comments here and people don't even realise how widespread glitter is. It's in everything and used in a variety of industries. From pharmaceuticals to construction, to transport, vehicles, military... in fact the one of the biggest consumers of glitter is kept secret so who knows, could be the military. It won't surprise me. We really need to find an alternative.
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.
I see you watched that YouTube video too ๐
