Safety & Quality

At Evergrove, safety and quality are a major priority.

Partnership with Huum: Excellence in Innovation & Research

We are proud to partner with Huum, a research and development startup whose team brings over 15 years of experience in sustainable technology, with more than 5 years dedicated specifically to researching and refining terramation methods. Huum collaborates with some of Australia's leading universities and research institutions, including:

  • University of Melbourne

  • University of Technology Sydney (UTS)

  • University of Newcastle

  • Australian National University (ANU)

  • RMIT University

  • Griffith University

  • CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation)

These partnerships ensure that our approach is backed by rigorous, evidence-based research. Our collaboration is both proactive and ongoing, meaning that we are not only developing safe and sustainable terramation practices now, but are committed to continued improvement well into the future. We are actively testing, refining, and enhancing every step of the process, with a focus on innovation that meets community needs and aligns with global best practices.

We are designing and testing every element of the terramation process to ensure it meets the most stringent safety, ethical, and environmental standards. Here’s what we’re prioritising:

Our Approach to Safety & Quality

  • We are continuing to collaborate with industry experts and regulatory bodies to meet and exceed current safety requirements. This includes developing processes that align with existing environmental and public health standards, while also anticipating future needs.

  • Our research is part of a dynamic academic dialogue, ensuring that our methods are validated and reviewed by the scientific community. This allows us to stay on the cutting edge of microbiome dynamics, soil science, and environmental impact, keeping safety at the forefront.

  • We are conducting trials in controlled environments, assessing factors like soil safety, carbon emissions, and breakdown efficiency. Our monitoring is not static - it's a continued process aimed at understanding new insights, responding to feedback, and adapting as we learn.

  • We are dedicated to the highest standards of environmental safety, aiming to create earth that is completely safe for memorialisation and environmental use. Our vessels are designed to ensure perfect aerobic conditions for decomposition, and this is constantly reviewed and optimised through data-driven adjustments.

  • All vessels undergo rigorous medical-grade sterilisation after each use. This eliminates any risks of contamination and ensures that the process is clean and dignified.
