Plant cellulose is the fibrous structural component found in the cell walls of plants, like trees, cotton, and hemp. It’s nature’s way of giving plants strength and shape.
Because it’s natural and abundant, cellulose is a fantastic raw material for sustainable products - including biodegradable glitter!
The Journey from Plant to Glitter
1. Sourcing the Raw Material
We start with responsibly harvested wood pulp, usually from fast-growing trees like eucalyptus or pine, ensuring sustainable forestry practices.
2. Purification and Processing
The wood pulp is cleaned and processed to remove impurities, leaving behind pure cellulose fibers. This cellulose is then refined to create thin films.
3. Creating the Film
These cellulose films are cut into tiny, uniform flakes — the perfect size and shape for glitter.
4. Colouring and Coating
The flakes are coated with safe, non-toxic pigments that give our glitter its vibrant colours. Because the base is natural cellulose, the colours adhere beautifully and shine brilliantly.
5. Quality Control
Every batch undergoes strict quality checks to ensure sparkle, safety, and biodegradability meet our high standards.
