Alka Eco participated in the VTU Funeral Trade Fair (Uitvaart Vakbeurs), held on 29 and 30 September at Evenementenhal Gorinchem.
During the two-day event, Alka Eco welcomed visitors at Stand F39, where the company presented its vision for more sustainable funeral care and shared insights into resomation through alkaline hydrolysis.
The trade fair provided a valuable opportunity to connect with funeral professionals, exchange knowledge, and discuss the growing role of sustainable technologies in the future of the funeral industry.
Resomation and the Future of Funeral Care
The funeral sector continues to evolve as sustainability, efficiency, and technological innovation become increasingly important.
One of the developments contributing to this transition is resomation, a process based on alkaline hydrolysis.
During the VTU Funeral Trade Fair, Alka Eco presented this technology and its potential as an innovative approach to modern funeral care.
For Alka Eco, the development of alkaline hydrolysis systems is about more than technology alone. It is about combining environmental responsibility with reliable engineering and practical solutions for the future.
Dutch Engineering and Production
An important part of Alka Eco’s presence at the trade fair was the presentation of the technology and engineering behind Alka Eco Systems.
Several key characteristics of the systems were highlighted during the event:
- CE and PED certified
- Produced in the Netherlands
- 30-year pressure vessel lifespan
- 0% CO₂ emissions
- Up to 60% RVO subsidy
These characteristics reflect Alka Eco’s focus on combining sustainability with Dutch engineering, quality, and long-term reliability.
Bringing Innovation and the Funeral Industry Together
The VTU Funeral Trade Fair brought professionals, organizations, suppliers, and innovators from the funeral sector together in one place.
For Alka Eco, participating in the event provided an opportunity to share knowledge about resomation and alkaline hydrolysis directly with professionals in the industry.
It also created a valuable setting for conversations about sustainability, technological development, and the changing needs of funeral care.
These discussions remain important as the sector continues to explore innovative approaches and more sustainable alternatives for the future.
From Innovation to Practical Application
Developing sustainable technology requires more than creating an innovative concept. A system must also be practical, reliable, and suitable for real-world applications.
Alka Eco continues to bring these elements together through Dutch engineering, technical expertise, and the further development of its alkaline hydrolysis systems.
Participation in the VTU Funeral Trade Fair offered an opportunity to bring this technology closer to the professionals and organizations helping shape the future of funeral care.
Collaboration for Sustainable Innovation
Innovation becomes stronger through collaboration.
At the trade fair, Alka Eco’s presentation also reflected its cooperation with HAAN Industrial Group, part of Koobra Industrial.
By bringing together environmental technology and industrial expertise, this collaboration supports the continued development of reliable and future-oriented solutions.
The connection between innovation, engineering, production, and practical experience plays an important role in turning sustainable ideas into real-world applications.
Continuing the Conversation
Although the VTU Funeral Trade Fair has concluded, the conversation about the future of sustainable funeral care continues.
Alka Eco remains focused on advancing resomation and alkaline hydrolysis technology while working with professionals, partners, and organizations interested in more sustainable approaches to funeral care.
We thank everyone who visited Alka Eco at Stand F39 and took the time to learn more about our technology, developments, and vision.
Together, we continue working toward a more innovative and sustainable future for funeral care.
