Natural organic reduction or "recomposition" is a process developed by Katrina Spade, Founder and CEO of Recompose, to gently convert human remains to soil. It is a contained, accelerated process that provides us with the opportunity to nourish new life after we die. It uses significantly less energy than cremation and saves over one metric ton of carbon dioxide per person.
Former PMA Executive Director Nora Menkin, along with other community members, testified in support of the legalization of this process. Watch the testimonies at the state Senate (starts around 49 minutes) and the House (starts around 31 minutes) to learn more about alkaline hydrolysis and natural organic reduction.
