With such a push against single use plastic and mirco plastics etc. Why is glitter left untouched? surely it has to be one of the worse plastic pollutants. Currently getting our Christmas shop ready, and its on everything and gets everywhere!

I find their suggestions for DIY glitter questionable, and I couldn’t tell you if all the article’s information is accurate, but Sustainable Jungle’s evaluation of current biodegradable glitters is worth a read, if you’re interested in glitter formulas.
Tl;dr There is active research into cellulose nanocrystals for glitter, which would still have some ecologically negative impacts, but otherwise everything on the market is likely greenwashing, to various degrees.
