Although paper confetti is generally considered biodegradable, when it is using paper that is chemically treated and dyed it takes much longer to break down, and can cause direct harm to animals. It is a better choice as it can be a really good way to use up recycled paper and is overall a good choice when used mindfully.

Potential Chemical Exposure:

Similar risks that are posed with paper in general are important to consider with paper confetti as well.
