A water cremation facility has just opened in Tasmania, with advocates touting it as a cheaper and greener alternative for those planning the end of their life.
Editor’s note 13/8/24: This story describes Alluvium as “the first regulator approved water cremation facility in Australia”. ABC News wishes to clarify that this relates to the company’s approval to recycle liquid waste via TasWater’s water treatment infrastructure. There are other Australian companies which are operating legally using different approaches to liquid waste disposal.
