Alkaline hydrolysis

Alkaline hydrolysis is a process that breaks down organic materials, such as human remains, using a strong alkaline solution like potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, combined with heat and pressure. This method converts body tissues into simple, non-harmful chemical components—primarily liquids, gases, and a small amount of bone fragments—over a few hours. It's considered an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial or cremation, producing fewer emissions and utilizing less energy. The process effectively and respectfully accelerates natural decomposition, offering a sustainable option for body disposition.
