Our Impact
Recompose's modular system uses nature's principles to return us to the earth, sequestering carbon and improving soil health. In fact, we've calculated carbon savings over over a metric ton per person. Recomposition allows us to give back to the earth that supports us all our lives.
At Our Core
We emulate nature, because nature is really, really good at death.
We believe everyone deserves choice when it comes to the end-of-life.
We hold transparency and participation dear, and work them into everything we do.
