Biodegradable glitter (Patreon)
Content
Multiple recent project have made us consider diving into and testing biodegradable glitter. Now... we may never tackle a video on them, and IF we do, it might take 1-2 years haha but we thought we'd reach out to y'all with some of our thoughts and get some of yours.
So it turns out the term "biodegradable" can be used even when it only "biodegrades" under extreme industrial composting practices... which are rarely if ever used on the "biodegradable" plastics.
I've had a little more success searching for "water soluble" glitters but I've only found 1 or 2 that make such bold claims and even then they only claim to work when they are in the presence of "heat, water, oxygen, and microorganisms".
If we do end up tackling this we'll probably do something like having a control in tap water, one in lake/river water, one in lake/river water under a heat lamp, and one with all of that and also a aquarium air pump for oxygen and agitation, etc.
But we know y'all are makers and tinkerers too. Have y'all seen any promising actual biodegradable glitters out there and if we were to test them, what types of tests and experiments might you like to see? -Evan
