KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • LifeArt’s paper-based coffins help reduce pollutants typically used in 98 percent of coffins.
  • The process of cremation with a standard coffin emits similar levels of greenhouse gases into the environment as a car travelling 3,650 km.
  • LifeArt has changed the eco-coffin industry by creating affordable, paper-based coffins that replicate the look and low cost of chipboard coffins.

Britain could greatly reduce pollution caused by cremations with the help of an innovative, environment-friendly company called LifeArt. LifeArt’s vision is to manufacture paper-based coffins with ‘enviroboard’ and help reduce pollutants typically used in 98 percent of coffins.

Studies show that making the switch from coffins containing pollutants to a paper-based product can significantly reduce the emission of toxic particles and greenhouse gasses by up to 97 percent.

The process of cremation with a standard coffin emits similar levels of greenhouse gases into the environment as a car travelling 3,650 km. These pollutants are posing a huge threat to air quality for those who live near crematoriums. The simplest way to cut down pollutants is to remove pollutants from the coffin itself. Although there have been paper-based coffins on the market for years, the industry never saw much traction because these products did not successfully mimic the look of a typical, chipboard coffin. LifeArt has changed the eco-coffin industry by creating affordable, paper-based coffins that replicate the look and low cost of chipboard coffins.

In addition to cutting down greenhouse gas emissions, LifeArt’s state-of-the-art coffins don’t require a large amount of wood.  On average, about 330,000 trees are used each year to produce chipboard coffins. Paper coffins require 80 percent fewer trees, which would save 273,000 trees every year.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds

While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]

The asset class where the market has no vote

Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]

The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not

Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
