Meet the Innovators: Capsula Mundi, the World's First Biodegradable Burial Pod πΏπ₯
Italian designers Raoul Bretzel and Anna Citelli have introduced an eco-friendly concept to the world of burials with Capsula Mundi, which translates to 'world's capsule' in Latin. This egg-shaped, organic casket is designed to hold ashes, offering a unique way to return to the earth.
Once interred, the biodegradable plastic shell gradually decomposes, providing essential nutrients for a sapling planted directly above it. This approach redefines the notion of a 'family tree' and aims to replace traditional tombstones with thriving forests in cemeteries. Capsula Mundi's mission is to minimize waste and transform the end of life into the beginning of new life.
