In a time where sustainability and respect for nature are becoming increasingly important, ecological solutions are emerging in various industries, including the funeral sector, such as the biodegradable urn. But what makes a biodegradable urn sustainable, and what is the exact difference between the biodegradable urn and the biodegradable mushroom urn?
Biodegradable Urn
A biodegradable urn is crafted from materials that naturally break down in the soil, leaving no harmful residues in nature. The decomposition process begins when the urn is buried, and, influenced by natural elements such as moisture, oxygen, and microorganisms. It gradually integrates into the soil without causing harm to the environment.
Unique features of the mushroom urn
With the biodegradable mushroom urn, the power of the mushroom comes to the forefront. Loop’s EarthRise™ is an urn made from mycelium, the root network of the mushroom. In nature, mycelium drives the natural life cycle by continuously converting dead organic materials into essential nutrients that the environment can reuse for growth. The unique strength of the mushroom allows the Loop EarthRise™ to seamlessly become one with nature, serving as a source for new life. When buried, the mushroom urn enriches nature by increasing soil diversity and nourishing the earth.
Difference between a biodegradable urn and the mushroom urn
When a mushroom urn is buried, the mycelium actively participates in the natural cycle of nature. It not only decomposes but also enriches the soil with essential nutrients. Unlike common biodegradable urns, which often contain various organic materials, the mycelium urn has the advantage of naturally integrating with the environment. The mycelium, from which the urn has grown, is a material known to nature and possesses the property of accelerating the breakdown process, as a natural recycler, and adding valuable nutrients to the soil. As a result, the Loop EarthRise™ not only enriches the soil but also enhances biodiversity in nature.
