MEINE ERDE

MEINE ERDE, operating as Circulum Vitae GmbH, is a Berlin-based cleantech startup founded in 2021.

The company offers Reerdigung, also known as Terramation, which is Europe’s first commercial service that transforms human remains into fertile soil through a natural process involving microorganisms. This innovative approach provides a sustainable alternative to traditional burial and cremation methods. The Reerdigung process takes approximately 40 days and uses a cocoon made from recycled materials, consuming 90% less energy than cremation. It binds carbon and enriches the resulting soil, contributing to the natural cycle of life. MEINE ERDE also offers funeral insurance and pre-arrangement services, catering to environmentally conscious individuals and those seeking dignified end-of-life care. As the only provider of Reerdigung in Europe, MEINE ERDE is positioned as a leader in the green funeral market, appealing to customers who value sustainability and personal dignity.
