Delft startup Loop Biotech – initiator and builder of a ‘living’ coffin that enriches the earth – has presented a more organic version of the Loop Living Cocoon. The startup is also launching the first fully biodegradable urn and cot.
The first design of the Loop Living Cocoon won several design awards. The company aims to restore balance with nature by providing eco-friendly solutions for everyday products on an international scale, beginning with the death-care industry. “We are growing a new product generation that enriches life and nature”, says Bob Hendrikx, founder of Loop Biotech. “To make our planet livable for current and future generations.”
The Loop ForestBed is an open-top coffin cot on which the deceased lie wrapped in a biodegradable cloth. The carrier is designed to be an alternative option to the coffin and considers those uncomfortable with a closed casket. The Loop EarthRise is an urn designed to reintegrate into nature completely. The urn, shaped like the trunk of a tree, has a lid in which a plant is placed, all to symbolize and actualize the continued growth of the deceased in the form of a tree. Consumers can choose to bury the urn in the garden or in a natural cemetery.
The new Loop Living Cocoon was presented last week during the Upstream festival in Rotterdam.
