It has minimal material use, and it has no long-term land occupation, aside from the processing facilities themselves.
Imba Amira NassiGUEST
Now, human composting is yet to be legalized in so-called Australia, so I reference Katrina Spade, who is a modern-day pioneer of human composting, and her Seattle-based facility, Recompose.
Imba Amira NassiGUEST
Mm.
Imba Amira NassiGUEST
Not only was Katrina Spade initially inspired by farmers composting their livestock, but on top of that, the nutrient and pH levels of that livestock compost and human compost have virtually no notable difference.
Imba Amira NassiGUEST
In death, we are so much alike.
Imba Amira NassiGUEST
[laughs] Once the dead body arrives at Recompose and any optional in-house ceremonies are completed, it is transferred into a stainless steel composting vessel with a lifespan of about fifty to sixty years.
Imba Amira NassiGUEST
There is a layer of straw, alfalfa, and wood chips, and then the body is laid on top, and then another layer of that organic matter on top of the body.
Imba Amira NassiGUEST

Darnell Lamont WalkerGUEST

Darnell Lamont WalkerGUEST
It's a, it's a company in, in Seattle, Recompose, um, by Katrina Spade, where they, you just go up there, they turn your body into mulch, and then your family can just lay you out in, in whatever yards or gardens they wanna put you in, you know? And I'm like, "Oh, l- yeah, that's it.
Darnell Lamont WalkerGUEST
That's what I want.
Darnell Lamont WalkerGUEST
Take me up."
Jay ZigmontHOST

Jay ZigmontHOST
We'll throw a leg in there and recompose.
Jay ZigmontHOST
There's a great company out in the Northwest that does this.
