Sequins made from synthetic polymers shimmer on the dancefloor before spending centuries in landfill. This project aims to optimise UK-manufactured, commercially viable biodegradable sequins made from renewable materials including waste and by-products, reducing global demand for oil-based synthetic materials and producing a more sustainable product.
The overall aim is maximum sparkle with minimum adverse environmental impacts; plastic-free sequins which look great, perform perfectly and biodegrade at end of life.
