The campaign for environmental responsibility is changing the choices Americans make. They recycle in evergrowing numbers. More choose organic foods and demand products with all-natural ingredients in simplified packaging. "Green" is clearly the color of choice among the largest group of environmentally conscientious citizens – college-educated, affluent, empty-nesters.
Now they have an environmentally responsible alternative to cremation and burial: The Alkaline hydrolysis process.
The alkaline hydrolysis process accelerates the natural decomposition process through alkaline hydrolysis, sympathetically returning the body to ash. This process produces a natural, contaminant-free byproduct. Alkaline hydrolysis is an environmentally sustainable process and the bio-responsible option.
With alkaline hydrolysis an individual body is gently placed in a standard, sanitary, nonporous vessel, preventing any commingling of residual remains. The completely automated process, operated by a single button, then utilizes a combination of water pressure, high temperature and alkalinity to accelerate the natural course of tissue hydrolysis. The bone shadows left after the alkaline hydrolysis are completely sterile white bones, brittle enough to be easily powdered to ash.
The entire process is complete in three to four hours, regardless of the size of the body. Pacemakers can be left in place and titanium implants can be recovered – intact and sterile. The alkaline hydrolysis vessel requires limited space and can be easily installed in a funeral home or an existing crematorium. Internationally, alkaline hydrolysis has become the standard, replacing incineration and now is being introduced in the United States for use with human bodies. The alkaline hydrolysis process, which is patented in 23 countries for cadavers, has been used worldwide in laboratory and research applications. U.S.-based research facilities and medical schools, including the prestigious Mayo Clinic, successfully utilize the alkaline hydrolysis technology.
There are significant advantages to choosing alkaline hydrolysis as an alternative to cremation and burial, because of its environmental component as well as its measurable cost savings.
As the eco-responsible choice, alkaline hydrolysis:
While alkaline hydrolysis provides responsible stewardship of the environment, its economic conservation is an important factor, too.
