Seattle to Open World's First Human Composting Facility
It will be called Recompose Seattle.
US company Olson Kundig Architects has announced the construction of Recompose Seattle, a facility where human bodies will be composted after death and turned into soil. This is reported by Dezeen.
It is noted that this method of burial is far more environmentally friendly and cheaper than others currently available. The center, expected to open by 2021, is set to be the first of its kind to offer human composting on a large scale.
Visualizations show that the facility will have a large open space with a wooden ceiling, white walls and round doors. The open area will be used for funerals, and the chairs will be arranged in a circle.
The initiators of the idea claim that composting remains uses 8 times less energy than cremation and reduces carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.
