Recompose She hopes to put this method into practice starting in 2021. According to the creator of this project, with humano human composting ’, more than one ton of carbon can be saved than with cremation or burial. Katrina has spoken with the BBC: "So far, 15,000 people have subscribed to our newsletter." The American is 43 years old, but she started this project when she was 30 years old, since she began to think about her death and fell in the conclusion that the right thing would be to return to the planet what is left of her when this happened.
