An act relating to prohibiting the sale or distribution of glitter containing intentionally added synthetic polymers
This bill prohibits the sale and distribution of glitter that contains intentionally added synthetic polymer microparticles, which are small plastic particles added to give glitter its reflective quality. The law defines glitter as decorative flat particles and specifies that the ban applies to products containing at least 0.01% synthetic polymer microparticles by weight, while allowing biodegradable, soluble, or natural glitter without these particles. The prohibition takes effect on January 1, 2028, though the bill itself becomes effective on July 1, 2025, giving businesses time to adjust their product offerings. This measure directly affects manufacturers, retailers, and distributors of decorative glitter products in Vermont by restricting the sale of conventional plastic-based glitter.
