Sustainable and beautiful grave design on memorial days in November: expert tips from the North Rhine-Westphalia Consumer Center.

All Saints' Day, All Souls' Day, Remembrance Day, Dead Sunday - these are days of remembrance in November when many people prepare the graves of their deceased relatives and decorate them with flowers, arrangements and candles. However, according to a report from rp-online.de, there are sustainable ways to design this grave. For example, instead of battery-operated LED candles, refillable grave lights can be used, and instead of plastic or other non-biodegradable materials, arrangements made from natural materials that can decompose can be used.

This sustainable way of grave design has several positive impacts on the market and consumers. On the one hand, switching from battery-operated LED candles to refillable grave lights reduces the need for batteries and therefore protects the environment. Batteries are often contaminated with harmful chemicals and are not always disposed of properly, which can lead to environmental pollution.

In addition, arrangements made from decayable natural materials such as wood or dried flowers can easily be returned to nature after use because they are biodegradable. This reduces the waste normally generated when disposing of non-decomposable plastic materials.

Overall, this eco-friendly grave design can help reduce the environmental impact associated with these memorial days. The market for refillable grave lights and arrangements made from decomposable natural materials could potentially continue to develop as awareness of environmental issues grows and more people look for sustainable alternatives.

According to a report by rp-online.de, there are already people, such as Philip Heldt, environmental expert at the NRW Consumer Center, who point out the advantages of environmentally friendly grave design. It remains to be seen how consumers will react to this and whether initiatives to promote sustainable grave design will continue to gain importance.
