How long does it take for Biodegradable Glitter to biodegrade?

Rate of biodegradation is dependent upon composting conditions. The biodegradable film is accredited according to the standards referred to in the previous FAQ.

BS EN13432:2000 Requirements for composting and biodegradable recyclable packaging test scheme and evaluation criteria for final acceptance of packaging(reference to standard:iso 14855-1:2005,IDT)

EN13432:2000 standard requires more than 90% within 180 days while our testing report of biodegradable glitter shows more than 91%within 95 days.

But this is just for labs,for the environment it usually takes 6month to degrade.

Q: How to identify the biodegradable glitter?

Many stories are supposed to be biodegradable, however they have all been polyester with a marketing message that it biodegrades. Which is not wrong… It just takes a few hundred years and is not really in the spirit of what biodegradability is all about!

There is a very simple test to see if your bioglitter is truly biodegradable!

First way is a little funny but it’s a very effective test; we just burn the bio glitter.

All other glitters, PET, Holographic PET, Iridescent glitter will smell like plastic.

What about PLA?Heat the glitter up on tin foil with a naked flame from beneath.

Melt, produce synthetic-smelling smoke, and when cool, it remains stuck to the foil.

 

Biodegradable Glitter will smell like paper.

Another way is to put the glitter in the sand for 1 month,you can very clearly the glitter degrade.

The future of glitter shaker

/0 Comments/in /by

Today is Christmas day,we are constantly striving to improve the quality of life for millions across more than 100 countries where our products are distributed.

We wish you peace and prosperity in the new year!

Wishing you all a very  Merry Christmas & a  Happy New Year

 

Today I want to talk about the future of glitter shakers.(I think this artical is also suitable for some other productions such as glitter glue,glitter paper even though can expand to many product types )

First of all,I want to introduce the glitter shaker.Glitter shaker is very popular among the children especially in Europe and American.It is wildly seen in Walmart Target and so on.

The most popular sizes of glitter shakers are 0.75oz(3/4 oz) glitter,2oz glitter,4oz glitter,7oz glitter 16oz glitter(1 lb oz) and some assorted glitter shakers.

The glitter usually package in recyclable plastic bottles which the top cover can open very easily.The advantage is the plastic glitter is glass and metal free and wont fade and tarnish.What’s more,the technology of PET glitter is very

With smart designers, the PET glitter nowadays are in advanced arts, ideas and technologies, OEM is very popular for our customers.

Otherwise,due to those advantages, the glitter shakers are in good quality and can delivery  in time.

So the following are the advantages of PET glitter:

  1. Low price
  2. High quality
  3. Many colours and sizes are acceptable
  4. Own designs are available
  5. Fast in delivery
  6. Low MOQ
  7. Package in recyclable bottles,Aluminum pots,glass bottles or plastic bags

glitter shakers

Secondly,I want to say something about the disadvantages of the glitter shakers.

  1. Becauseof the advantages of economic globalization ,more and more retailers are able and very easy to purchase glitter shakers from Chinese factories,the retailers can have low MOQ for the glitter shakers in a very good price, in particular, would be a huge shock to the

In other words,it will be harder and harder to do the business for the distributors and wholesales.

  1. More and more people are focused on the microbeans,many
    scientists found plastic in the body of birds and fishes or ever human beings.No one can escape from the pollution of plastic!In UK,there is a banning on plastic glitter including PET glitter in schools and nurseries because of the polluting the water oceans etc.

 

Thirdly,I’d like to say the advantages and disadvantages of biodegradable glitter.

The advantages are very clear,you have have the same fun just like the PET glitter.

Otherwise,the bio glitter is more soft than the plastic glitter because the glitter is made from plants.

Also it is a great chance for the customers to break into the market.

In addition to that, we have some new package for the biodegradable glitter,this is biodegradable bags made from corn starch.

This is revelution of glitter shakers,we are trying to invent a kind of biodegradable jars,maybe we can see them in the future.

The negative aspects of biodegradable glitter are also very apparent. The price is much higher than the PET glitter and the holographic and iridescent colours are not available now.

 

Fourthly,

I want give a wild assumption, but it’s fun to make, because I know pretty well.

  1. Biodegradable glitter shakers will be popular in the next 5 years
  2. The price of bio glitter will be lower and lower with technology progress
  3. The most popular sizes of glitter shakers will be smaller than the PET glitter shaker,for example: 3g assorted,5g assorted ,0.75oz assorted or 2oz assorted.
  4. The market is changing,it is a great chanllenge but also a chance for our customers.Seize thechance，otherwise you will regret it.biodegradable bags(THIS is biodegradable bags,heat sealed on the top,5g per bag)

Before start this topic,let’s see a conversation from our customer.
She decided to buy bio glitter from another supplier because our price is higher.I just told her this is for cosmetics grade bio-glitter,bio-glitter is cheaper.
Then she realised that she did not tell them what she need is cosmetic grade,let’s see what she said:
Yes you are correct, the other company is not cosmetic grade. I’m glad I checked or our company would be in big trouble. Thank you for clarifying this for us. Please send over an invoice so we can get shipment soon.

So before asking me the price of bio-glitter,you should know what you need now:
bio-glitter or cosmetics grade bioglitter,it’s not the same.The differences is the dyer we use is different.
Hope this topic can help you to double check the production you need.
