Ban non-biodegradable glitter and confetti

Closed 133 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to stop companies/shops selling non-biodegradable glitter and confetti, or products that contain this, such as piñatas and confetti cannons.
Non-biodegradable glitter and confetti pollute the environment, and stay in the environment indefinitely.

In the park I use, piñatas and confetti cannons that contain non-biodegradable glitter and confetti are used regularly, and there are patches of metallic plastic disks spread in the grass and water in the park, which pose a danger to the environment and wildlife.
