Glitter is increasingly under fire for its contribution to microplastic pollution, and is facing numerous bans worldwide. NatureFlex™ films are produced from renewable wood pulp, harvested from responsibly managed plantations, and meet all the relevant standards for industrial composting.
“Glitter is a tricky market due to the product almost certainly ending up in the environment, whether wastewater, marine, or soil,” said Andy Sweetman, Sales & Marketing Director, in a press statement. “NatureFlex™ allows for a more viable, less damaging end-of-life scenario than conventional glitter produced from conventional plastic materials. A switch to compostable glitter is a step toward reducing the ever-growing microplastic problem we are facing in our soils and seas today.”
