By minimising waste and environmental impact, many funeral homes are now implementing recycling and reuse practices in many of their operations, minimising waste and reducing environmental impact. In addition to the material with which coffins are constructed, some funeral homes are now looking to use biodegradable products and products that do not contaminate the soil, such as cremation options, coffins made from biodegradable materials, reducing the amount of metal or other polluting materials present in traditional coffins, innovative burial solutions such as a tree burial pod, buffering solutions or enzymes that prevent environmental pollution after the funeral ceremony.
These are just some of the practices being adopted for sustainability and environmental awareness.
The impact of all activities on the environment is something that is being implemented in all companies and funeral homes are no exception. There is an awareness of all the impact that the environment suffers and greener alternatives tend to increase even at a delicate time, to honour loved ones after death.
It is funeral directors who play an important role in making families aware of environmentally conscious practices and sustainable options for funeral rites.
There is currently scientific research and development taking place in the field of funeral biotechnology, exploring the use of enzymes in advanced techniques for decomposing and processing human bodies after death.
And what is the function of enzymes in the whole process of preparing a deceased person for a funeral?
Enzymes are protein molecules that speed up chemical reactions and have the ability to break down complex organic compounds into simpler substances.
The use of enzymes is a practice that may or may not be directly associated with funeral parlours. Funeral parlours are responsible for services related to the treatment and preparation of a deceased person's body for funeral, cremation or burial. This involves practices such as embalming, sanitisation and aesthetic preparation.
The use of enzymes is relevant in areas related to the funeral industry, such as the biodegradation of organic waste in cemeteries or crematoria, which contributes to environmental preservation and compliance with pollution control regulations.
Recognising that traditional funeral methods can have a negative impact on the environment, funeral homes are also striving to adopt environmentally conscious and sustainable practices
Prodáver has distinctive products and one of them is BIO ENZI enzymes, which are biological and do not harm the soil.
We have them available in two sizes, 10 sachets of 1kg or 20 sachets of 500grs.
These sachets are hydrophilic bags that break down on contact with fluids at room temperature by placing a bag next to the waist and between the legs of the corpse without opening it. It is recommended to use one 1000gr bag for every 75kg of body weight.
Bioenzi is an innovative, biological, super-absorbent technology product for enhancing the decomposition of organic matter. It is an extremely active, concentrated product based on cultures of non-pathogenic microorganisms, environmental Bacillus and Pseudomonas, Saccharomyces, Escherichia, Clostridium, etc., trace elements and mineral complexes. Recommended for the degradation and decomposition of corpses in graves, drawers or deposits.
