The Sparkle Behind the Scenes: How Glitter is Made

Ever wondered how biodegradable glitter is made? Let’s dive into the fascinating process that brings this magical sparkle to life.

1. Starting with Sustainable Materials

Here at Projekt Glitter, we're all about being glittering responsibly! While regular glitter, made from microplastics, can be harsh on our skin and the environment, our glitter shines differently. Ours is created from plant-based materials like eucalyptus tree pulp, offering you a biodegradable option. We carefully choose eucalyptus from sustainable plantations for its rapid growth and rich cellulose content, making it a superb eco-friendly pick. 

2. Creating the Glitter Sheets

The next step is transforming these sustainable materials into glitter sheets. Here’s how it works:

• Cellulose Extraction: Cellulose fibers are extracted from the wood pulp of eucalyptus trees.
• Forming Sheets: The cellulose is then formed into thin sheets. These sheets are smooth and flexible, perfect for creating fine glitter particles.
• Dyeing: The cellulose is coated in vibrant, non-toxic colors. This step is crucial for creating the stunning shades of glitter you love.

3. Cutting into Sparkling Pieces

Once the sheets are ready, it’s time to cut them into the tiny, sparkling pieces we know as glitter. This process involves:

• Precision Cutting: The sheets are fed into a machine that cuts them into uniform shapes. At Projekt Glitter, we produce various sizes, from ultra-fine to chunky glitter, to suit different needs and preferences.
• Shaping: This is where glitter can be cut into different shapes, like stars and hearts. Currently, this option isn't available for biodegradable glitter. However, as the demand increases, more choices will become accessible.

4. Mixing and Blending

After cutting, the glitter pieces are mixed and blended to create our signature collections. This stage includes:

• Custom Blends: Our team carefully combines different colors and sizes to create unique, eye-catching blends. Whether you prefer a subtle shimmer or a bold sparkle, we have something for everyone.
• Quality Control: Each batch is inspected to ensure consistency and quality. We want every vial of Projekt Glitter to deliver the same dazzling effect.

5. Eco-Friendly Packaging

The final step in our glitter-making process is packaging. We use eco-friendly materials to package our glitter, ensuring that our commitment to sustainability extends to every aspect of our product. Here’s how we do it:

• Biodegradable Containers: Our glitter comes in glass vials and pots, reducing plastic waste and making it easy for you to recycle.
• Recyclable Labels: We use recyclable labels and minimal packaging to decrease our environmental footprint.
