Instructions

WHAT CONDITIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR BIODEGRADATION TO OCCUR? Heat, water and oxygen are required for effective biodegradation by microorganisms. Bio-glitter® is metabolised by micro-organisms which transforms it into carbon dioxide, water and biomass.

IS BIO-GLITTER® COMPOSTABLE AS WELL AS BIODEGRADABLE?
Bio-glitter® meets the standards for industrial composting and home composting according to the OK home compost standard.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR BIO-GLITTER® TO BREAK DOWN?
The rate of biodegradation changes with different conditions. For example, a leaf in a swamp is broken down more efficiently than a leaf in the desert.
However for a rough indication, Bio-glitter® once in nature should break down within 90 days.

DOES BIO-GLITTER® DISSOLVE IN WATER?
No, Bio-glitter® does not dissolve in water because microorganisms found in the natural environment are needed to digest Bio-glitter® and transform it into harmless substances (carbon dioxide, water and biomass).

Dissolving is entirely different to biodegrading.Something that dissolves does not go away; that object is just no longer visible. For example, salt dissolved in seawater. The salt is still there in the water, yet the salt granules are unobservable. You may have noticed this when ocean water dries on your skin, and the salt then becomes visible on your skin.

WILL BIO-GLITTER® DISSOLVE IN SEAWATER?
Yes, the biodegradable film used in Cosmetic Bio-glitter® biodegrades in seawater in accordance with the standard ASTM D7081-05.

DOES BIO-GLITTER® CONTAIN NANOPARTICLES?
No, not even in the Black Bio-glitter®. The D&C Black 2 pigmentwe use has been carefully selected and is in non-nano form.

IS BIO-GLITTER® HOLOGRAPHIC?
No. The film needed to make glitter holographic will not biodegrade in a natural environment.
Materials/Ingredients

Bio-glitter® replaces the core polyester film used in traditional glitter. Bio-glitter® uses a unique and special form of cellulose from hardwoods, primarily eucalyptus sourced from responsibly managed and certified plantations operating to PEFC™ standards. This core, in its own right, possesses excellent eco-credentials. It is biodegradable in all environments; certified industrial and home compostable, approved soil, wastewater, freshwater and marine biodegradable.

BIO-GLITTER® is Certified OK Biodegradable WATER by TÜV, which means guaranteed biodegradation in a natural, freshwater environment. This certification proves it is NOT a Microplastic (ECHA Microplastic Proposal, Jan 2019) Our TUV logo serial number is SO933 to certify we have rights to use this certification.
