Water cremation for pets

Assistants holding pets

Water cremation for pets is gaining traction in Australia, with pet owners wanting a cleaner and more eco-friendly process. Water cremation systems are engineering a more sterile, kinder, and environmentally friendly method of cremating our best friends using aquamation, a process that utilises an alkaline water solution instead of traditional methods. Water cremation uses far less energy and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The process is clean, efficient, and kind to the animal and the environment.

Why is water cremation a better alternative

Industry is always searching for cost-effective ways to reduce its environmental footprint. From the angle of commercial acumen, questions arise regarding the ecological ramifications associated with conventional cremation techniques. Traditional cremation, driven by fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and propane, presents a notable environmental concern. For instance, using traditional methods, the cremation of an average-sized dog emits approximately 45kg of CO2 into the atmosphere, accompanied by other harmful emissions.

When considering the increasing participation of pet ownership, there is an expanding need for pet cremation, leading to the necessity for alternative cremation methods that positively influence the environment.

As highlighted by National Geographic, water cremation emerges as a compelling alternative due to its significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional cremation. This innovative process transforms remains into a mixture of liquid and porous bone fragments, markedly minimising emissions.

Notably, the energy demand for water cremation is substantially lower, boasting an impressive 85% reduction compared to conventional cremation methods. Furthermore, the potential for carbon neutrality exists, particularly when renewable energy sources power the process.
