Building a Circular Economy with Eco Concrete Technology
Our UK Innovation, the Eco Elite Foundations, a 5-meter square eco concrete pour that effectively reduces CO2 emissions by an amount equivalent to planting 430 trees.
This ground breaking initiative serves as the foundation for preserving our rich historical legacy and paving the way for a sustainable future.
Recent analysis reveals a concerning trend in England, where between 2019 and 2021, a staggering 46,200 individuals lost their lives due to what is known as the Death of Despair.
This equates to an average of 42 people per day.
Notably, the North East of England experienced more than double the number of deaths compared to London, with 150 deaths of despair recorded in the Hackney area from 2021 to 2023.
The potential transmission pathway of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) from an infected person to contamination of water sources is a very serious concern that requires thorough investigation.
Here is a breakdown of the potential pathway:
Infected Person with Dementia-like Symptoms:
A person infected with CJD or a related prion disease may exhibit symptoms like dementia, memory loss, and cognitive decline.
Death and Cremation:
When the infected person passes away, the body is typically cremated.
During the cremation process, the high temperatures do not effectively destroy the infectious prion proteins that cause CJD and other prion diseases.
Cremation Ash Spread on Land:
The cremation ash, which still contains the undestroyed prion proteins, is then spread over the land, such as in a cemetery or memorial garden.
Prions in Cremation Ash Entering Water:
With rainfall, the prion-contaminated cremation ash can be washed into nearby waterways, such as rivers or groundwater sources.
Contamination of Water Supply:
The Thames Water utility draws water from these contaminated surface water and groundwater sources to supply homes and businesses with tap water.
Exposure through Tap Water:
Individuals using the tap water, whether for drinking, bathing, or other purposes, can potentially be exposed to the infectious prion proteins that survived the cremation process.
Lets Make a start to ensure the safety of the tap water and prevent the potential transmission of these devastating neurological diseases. Addressing this issue is of the utmost importance to protect public health.
The prion proteins responsible for CJD and related diseases are highly resistant to standard water treatment and disinfection methods. This means that even if the water goes through a treatment process, the infectious prions may still remain present in the tap water supply.
By employing a calculation based on the average death rate per UK council, which is approximately 1 death per 12 months per council multiplied by 317 councils, we estimate an annual cost of £5,706,000 in low-case scenarios. However, current statistics indicate that there are 42 public health funeral deaths in the UK per day, resulting in an annual cost of £22,995,000 in high-case scenarios.
It is crucial to address the budgetary constraints within the public health funeral sector to mitigate the quantifiable damage inflicted on our natural capital through the disposal of human ashes. Based on our estimate, approximately £22 million worth of damage remains unabated due to the scattering of deceased ashes in rivers and their dispersion over land.
To tackle this issue, my Eco Elite Foundation proposes the implementation of a Cremation Columbarium, which not only aims to enhance our natural capital but also offers a space-saving solution and the potential for recurring revenue
it is essential to emphasize the importance of full compliance with the Cremation Act 1902 in the UK. This act establishes regulations governing the cremation of human remains, including specific guidelines for the handling and disposal of ashes. Adherence to these regulations is crucial to ensure the respectful and proper treatment of the deceased.
According to the Cremation Act 1902, the following requirements should be met after the cremation process:
Respectful handling: The ashes should be handled with utmost respect and dignity throughout the entire process, recognizing the significance they hold for the deceased and their loved ones.
Suitable container: Typically, the ashes are placed in a suitable container, such as an urn. The choice of the container can be made by the family or provided by the crematorium, ensuring that it is appropriate for preserving and safeguarding the ashes.
Proper labelling: The container holding the ashes must be appropriately labelled, clearly indicating the name of the deceased person and any other relevant information necessary for accurate identification.
Offered to the applicant: The crematorium has the responsibility to offer the ashes to the individual who made the arrangements for the cremation, which is usually the deceased's next of kin or a designated representative. This ensures that the ashes are rightfully returned to the appropriate party who paid for the cremation.
Moreover, it is important to recognize that the Environment Agency has the authority to take action if large numbers of burials, whether as a singular event or over a period of time, have the potential to impact groundwater quality.
Given the increasing number of cremations and the associated disposal of ashes, there is a significant risk of watercourse contamination. Therefore, strict adherence to the regulations outlined in the Cremation Act is vital to prevent such contamination and protect our water resources.
It is worth noting that there may be instances where funerals might not be fully complying with the provisions of the Cremation Act. Addressing this issue is crucial to ensure that the handling and disposal of ashes in public health funerals align with the legal requirements, thereby upholding the dignity and respect owed to the deceased and safeguarding our environment.
