Human Composting is Coming to California
AB 351 has been signed by the Governor of California. Your letters, calls, and emails calling for ecological death care worked. Thank you.
We did it!
Thanks to all who sent their letters to Gov. Gavin Newsom to urge him to sign AB 351. This groundbreaking human composting bill has now been signed and will go into effect in January 2027. You can read about the bill’s passing in this article by NBC news.
Recompose is planning to open a facility in California – locations TBD – soon after the law goes into effect. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to be updated.
Thank you again for being part of this work.
ps – Katrina Spade, founder and CEO, lived in San Francisco for 8 years prior to moving to Seattle. Asked about this exciting new law, she says “bringing Recompose to California will be a little bit like returning home.”
