Most environmental issues are caused by the living but have you ever considered the environmental impact of death? Alkaline hydrolysis, a greener alternative to burial or flame-based cremation, uses a combination of water and potassium hydroxide to decompose bodies. It doesn’t require burial space, uses 1/12 the energy of traditional cremation and doesn’t produce toxic gases or air pollutants. Motherboard spoke to Terry Regnier at Mayo Clinic to find out more about the process.

@@kingzach74 they might look alright to a doctor but bacteria is microscopic and not confined to the easily seen surfaces, and fatigue cracking that can lead to structural failure as well as harbouring bacteria can take specialist non-destructive testing methods to detect. Joints wear (I think 20 years is a typical replacement joint design life) and more and more implants are being custom 3D printed to exactly fit the patients' bones. Biocompatible materials like titanium are assimilated into the body, serving as scaffolding for bone growth. This makes it very difficult to properly clean them. It's illegal to reuse implants in much of the world, so the closest they normally get is melting down the metals for recycling (I read that some pacemakers are reused on pet animals), although I was told that a stainless steel plate I had in my shoulder for a few months was donated to India so that a poor person that fractured their clavicle could have it surgically repaired.

No.... The soul needs a 'home'. Ashes put in urn or container must be earth material. If not, soul is trapped inside artificially made urn or container. If scatter, it becomes wandering soul. That's bad.

Why not? The strong bases used in the process are neutralized, before they're disposed of. Pouring drain cleaner down your toilet is probably less eco friendly than this.

the amount used is actually balanced out by your body, so what comes out at the end isn't much more than water and human remains anyway. the guy failed to mention one of the best bits about the remains; it can actually be used as fertiliser.

Obviously this is like a washing machine in that the tub spins. How else would you get the bones all mixed up. If the body stays in one place while the water/acid is flushed through, the bones would still be lined up.

Dear VICE Asia channel network, Please accept my apology for a not very happy comments, but I think - the KZbin is not a place for such video materials to observe and a subject to discuss. This information should be distributed to general public with more casualty because it still very personal and in my opinion this should be dressed in a more respectable way especially for the deceased. Many of you and your subscribers might disagree with my statements, but they're only disagree because they cannot imagine or place themself in the position of the deceased who's right's is no longer protected by a "life coverage" from the moment they had passed. I am a nurse and have seen people born and die - this is the natural process of human life cycle I believe, but I also believes that if during the life time person feels to be treated like an individual, so then after the're passed they should be treated with same level of casualty and respectability. Sincerely, K.
