Glitter in make up as microplastics: comparative life cycle analysis of biodegradable and plastic glitter

2020
Iuliia Tcibulnikova

Summary

This life cycle analysis student project compares the environmental impacts of synthetic plastic glitter used in cosmetics against biodegradable glitter made from eucalyptus cellulose. The analysis examines production, use, and end-of-life environmental burdens and market factors. This is a student project providing preliminary LCA insights relevant to microplastic reduction in personal care products.

My project is about life cycle analysis (LCA) and comparison of make-up products with synthetic plastic glitter and biodegradable glitter made from eucalyptus cellulose (environmental impacts and market incentives).
