Glitter is a decorative material made up of tiny, reflective particles that can come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. It is commonly used in arts and crafts, cosmetics, and fashion to add sparkle and shine. Glitter can be made from plastic, glass, or metal, and it is often used to enhance the visual appeal of items. While glitter is popular for its aesthetic qualities, it poses environmental concerns. Many types of glitter are non-biodegradable and can contribute to pollution, especially in oceans, where they are often referred to as microplastics. Efforts are being made to create eco-friendly alternatives to traditional glitter, such as those made from plant-based materials.
