What Is The Human Composting Industry Trying To Grow? | Defector
Briefly

Earth offers a transformative approach to death care, converting human bodies into soil rather than following traditional burial or cremation methods. The process yields compost that fosters environmental rejuvenation.
The body is placed within a biodegradable shroud and then positioned in a vessel filled with organic mulch and woodchips, accelerating decomposition over 30 to 45 days.
Their facilities aim to represent a shift in the perception of death—from an end to a beginning, emphasizing sustainability and ecological restoration.
At the conclusion of the transformation, families receive about five quarts of compost, while the remainder is utilized in ecological conservation efforts.
