We started to experiment in 2018.<\/li>\n<li>In January 2025, we received suggested funding possibilities for our Dutch buyers from <a class=\"my-dark-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rvo.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rvo.nl<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The 2025 unit(s) are the first Alka Eco Liquification Energy Recall System built for humans, with separate units for pet animals.<\/li>\n<li>The April 2025 energy recall system is a highly efficient energy-saving solution, capable of achieving up to a realistic 50-80% reduction in energy consumption, and it is recognised as the most advanced system in the world. An independent German electronics engineer calculated the energy savings.<\/li>\n<li>Reusing the hot effluent is possible; it depends on government decisions. Back2Nature Plans: In collaboration with the Dutch company TAUW, we aim to enhance the effluent\u2019s cleanliness, thereby gaining approval for its application on the fields.<\/li>\n<li>The deceased can be placed in the recyclable carton PUUR coffin (<a class=\"my-dark-link\" href=\"https:\/\/alka-eco.com\/alka-eco-human\/#productgallery\">see the product gallery from Alka Eco Human<\/a>) and inserted in our unit.
