Enlarge / Mockup of a future Recompose facility. (credit: MOLT Studios) This week, Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed a bill to allow the composting of human remains within the state. It is the only state in the US—and possibly the only government in the world—to explicitly allow "natural organic reduction" of human remains. The bill also legalizes alkaline hydrolysis, a base chemical process that also uses heat, pressure, and water to liquify remains.
