did you know your death is capable of generating about 300 kg of CO2? confused and curious ?. Same happened with me when I saw this news (I couldn’t find more details about this pollution. If you have some info, please post here. )

So, who made this Environment-Friendly Coffin ?

Just as unsound is the fact that your coffin could well be made of plywood from illegally logged trees, according to Yukihiro Masuda, project manager of Tri-Wall KK, a Tokyo-based packaging-materials company. His team has therefore come up with a green alternative — a coffin made from strong, three-layered cardboard produced from sustainable trees and held together with natural, starch-based glue. The 15-kg coffin has the look and feel of its wooden counterpart, supports a 200-kg body and requires half the energy for combustion compared to an ordinary coffin, resulting in just a third of the hazardous gas emissions. For each coffin purchased, Tri-Wall KK plants 10 trees in a national reserve in Mongolia. Masuda calculates that in 20 years those trees will have absorbed about 60% of the CO2 from a typical funeral.

That’s really interesting … isn’t it ?
