Since prehistoric times, glitter has been made from many different materials including stones such as malachite, and mica, [5] as well as insects [6] and glass. [7] Uses for glitter include clothing, arts, crafts, cosmetics and body paint. [8] [9] Modern glitter is usually manufactured from the combination of aluminum and plastic, which is rarely recycled and finds its way into the aquatic habitats, eventually becoming ingested by animals, leading some scientists to call for bans on plastic glitter.

We played with this in a glass tray. The pictures can’t really capture it perfectly, but it creates a really pretty effect. This is a very relaxing and calming sensory tray to explore, unlike some of the bigger sensory bins we have made which include vehicles or play people, this one is really just about exploring the materials. Due to its unique characteristics, glitter has also proven to be useful forensic evidence. Because of the tens of thousands of different commercial glitters, identical glitter particles can be compelling evidence that a suspect has been at a crime scene. Forensic scientist Edwin Jones has one of the largest collections of glitter, consisting of over 1,000 different samples used in comparison of samples taken from crime scenes. Glitter particles are easily transferred through the air or by touch, yet cling to bodies and clothing, often unnoticed by suspects.

Trisia Farrelly, an environmental anthropologist at Massey University, has called for a ban on glitter made of polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) and aluminium, as it is a microplastic that can leach hormonal disruptors into the environment. [11] Furthermore, plastic glitter takes about one thousand years to biodegrade, according to Victoria Miller, a materials and engineering scientist at North Carolina State University. [41] When dozens of British music festivals pledged to ban single-use plastics by 2021, the proposed ban included plastic glitter. [42]
