Redefining Final Goodbyes: A Vision for Sustainable Death Care in Australia
In Australia, the annual death rate and the prevailing preference for cremation pose significant environmental challenges. With around 160,000 deaths per year and a cremation rate of 70% (this can be closer to 95% in cities), the practice's ecological implications cannot be overlooked. Specifically, cremation's energy consumption and resultant emissions are at odds with Australia’s environmental commitments. According to current research, an average cremation emits about 400 kilograms of CO2 per procedure, leading to an estimated 45,600 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually across Australia, considering the national cremation rate. This figure is a conservative estimate, excluding the additional environmental burden of heavy metals and other pollutants released during the process.
