AN MP wants Queenslanders to be buried in cardboard coffins in natural bush cemeteries where the decomposing bodies can promote vegetation growth."The site will be an old quarry to be filled with suitable soil so that bodies can decompose and provide valuable nutrients that encourage the rejuvenation of native flora," she said.

I did a lot of research in sustainable burials about four years ago but it was on hold for a while until I found the right material to create fantastic organic shaped coffins which were fully biodegradable and looked great; Zelfo, now called Zeoform, 100% biodegradable plastic made of hemp. Unfortunately that was put on hold as well as the company is focussing on developing the material into granules for the plastic industry to simplify the production method. By the time it's ready the market is full with althernatives like the shrouded burial in South Australia! A pity for my ideas on the shelve but a good thing for the environment!
