The funeral industry is one that has remained largely unchanged with many people seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional burials or cremation.
Current end of life practices can have a significant effect on the environment from energy use to greenhouse gases and soil pollution.
So, one of the alternatives will be introduced by my guest today who is Katrina Spade, founder and CEO of the world's first human composting company, Recompose.
Founded in 2017, Recompose describes the process of human composting as natural organic reduction. Human composting has a host of environmental benefits which supports a return to nature and a reduction in carbon and energy.
At the time of recording, Maine became the 12th state in the U.S. to legalise human composting however it is not yet available in Australia.
But at the heart of today's conversation it's about more than a green solution, we're exploring the opportunity for more choice with Recompose respectfully challenging the funeral industry and current practices.
I hope you enjoy the episode.
You can learn more about Recompose on their website or follow them on Instagram for updates.
