Specifically, they are usually made with earth, sand, sea salts, so they are all of plant and / or mineral origin. So, these are made with 100% organic materials to get them to disintegrate in nature with the natural process of biodegradation.
In addition, they are produced through environmentally friendly processes, mostly being manufactured by hand. These two fundamental aspects classify them as ecological urns.
There is also the advantage that you can choose in which environment or environment we want to say goodbye to our loved one by placing the urn in him so that he can join nature. That is, there are those made to biodegrade in sand or earth or in water or in both places, so you can choose to release the ashes on the ground, for example in a field or land or by planting a tree with the urn itself. , or release them in the water, be it in a river, a lake or the sea or ocean. This is allowed because the material of these is natural and due to the small amount involved, its biodegradation in these media does not produce damage, although it does cause a slight temporary alteration, something that happens constantly in a natural way, and that does not imply a risk.
Currently, in addition, there is a type of ecological and biodegradable urn that allows us plant a tree at once. It is a model designed to contain the ashes so that when burying it in the most suitable soil the tree grows, leaving the ashes and the urn itself at the base of the tree, but forming part of it, having served as food for the tree. Becoming a tree can be a beautiful way to return to nature and find rest, as well as joining the sea.
