Sustainability at Projekt Glitter | Eco Face & Body Glitter

A Movement for Sustainable Celebration

At Projekt Glitter, we believe that partying and protecting the planet can go hand in hand.

**Glitter That Gives a Sh*t**

We know the damage traditional plastic glitter can do. That’s why we’ve created an alternative made from plant-based cellulose that biodegrades in natural environments.

〰️ Biodegradable glitter made from plant-derived cellulose that breaks down in 6 months

〰️ Cosmetic-grade and safe for skin

〰️ Hand-mixed in our Berlin studio

〰️ Packaged with minimal waste, no unnecessary plastic

Our Pearlescent Range is already fully plastic-free, and we’re in the process of phasing out our last remaining plastic-containing glitters.

Our Packaging & Production

Eco-Friendly Product Containers

Every part of our product is designed to reduce waste. All our products come in glass or aluminum containers and our labels are PVC free.

Green Shipping Practices

We use recycled materials or FSC-certified paper for our shipping to help protect forests. And we offset the carbon footprint of every order you place.

Our Commitment To Plastic Recovery

We’re not just reducing our own impact — we’re helping clean up existing waste too.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Cleanhub, who work to remove plastic waste from coastal areas before it enters the ocean. For every purchase, a portion goes toward this mission.

Repair & Rewear

Through our Repair & Rewear program, we collaborate with local Berlin upcyclers and designers to host hands-on workshops that breathe new life into worn partywear.

Partnerships with a Purpose

Sustainability isn’t just about what’s in our jars — it’s a way of celebrating that’s lighter on the Earth and richer in meaning. And we’re proud to partner with:

Wumanas, a female-led platform uplifting women and femme artists through events, creative projects, and community-building.

Sober Spaces to reimagine nightlife — creating intentional, substance-free party environments that celebrate connection, creativity, and good vibes.

Bio Glitter FAQs

Is your biodegradable glitter vegan?

The answer is both yes and no. At Projekt Glitter, we offer two distinct glitter collections: Sparkle and Pearlescent. Each collection has a unique composition that aligns with our mission of promoting sustainable beauty.

Our Sparkle Collection is vegan, but contains a small amount (6%) of plastic. While we're striving to completely eliminate plastic from our products, it's currently necessary as we continue to innovate and improve our technology. We're not perfect yet, but we're dedicated to this journey.

In contrast, our Pearlescent collection is 100% free of plastic. However, it contains shellac, a natural product derived from the resin secreted by the female lac bug. Although shellac isn't considered vegan, we ensure that it's ethically sourced, causing no harm to any bugs during the extraction process.

Transparency is crucial to us, and we appreciate your consideration of Projekt Glitter for sustainable sparkle.

How long does it take for the bio glitter to breakdown?

The decomposition time can vary depending on the composting conditions. However, in ideal conditions—warm, wet, and full of microorganisms—it can break down in a few months - a vast improvement on traditional glitter which can take hundreds of years to decompose.

Where does the bio glitter from Projekt Glitter come from?

Project Glitter's bio glitter is sourced from sustainable sources and produced right here in Germany. We make a point of supporting environmentally friendly practices from sourcing to production.

Is your bio glitter safe for the ocean?

Yes, our glitter biodegrades in sea water and can be anaerobically digested, meaning it can be broken down by our fish friends too!

If biodegradable glitter is accidently ingested by marine life, it is metabolized naturally, unlike traditional glitter, which remains in the animal and accumulates up the food chain.

In short, biodegradable glitter poses no threat to the ocean or the life within it - smooth sailing!

We are licensed resellers of both Bioglitter® PURE and Bioglitter® SPARKLE.

Bioglitter® SPARKLE, is 92% plastic-free and independently tested to prove it will degrade in natural freshwater environments and not just an industrial composter. Bioglitter® PURE, is the world’s first 100% plastic-free glitter and Certified ‘OK Biodegradable WATER’ by TÜV.
