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'd be surprised if there is, seeing as glitter is made from plastic and aluminium

It's also apparently used in certain types of kitchen surfaces (quartz or granite if i'm not mistaken) to give them a sparkly finish, not too sure people would be happy to find their kitchen surfaces shine "biodegraded" and looking duller after half a century lol
