The Danger of Traditional Plastic Based Glitter

Standard glitter is a major cause of micro-plastics pollution. Its tiny particles are almost impossible to separate from other types of garbage, and they always end up polluting our water streams. That is why it is time to choose a no-plastic eco-glitter if we want to prevent the planet from receiving more damage.

Some government entities are taking important measures to tackle the danger of micro-plastics in the ocean, this is what you need to know

  • In 2015, Cosmetics Europe recommended stop using plastic particles in cosmetics if they do not decompose in water by 2020.

  • In December 2017, the UK passed a law forbidding the use of micro-beads in rinse-off cosmetics.

  • The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) completed a total removal of plastics in 2018.

  • In January 2018, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) from the European Commission started to study the use of micro-plastics in products in order to ban it.

  • The European Commission has also introduced new directives on single-use plastics.
