澳大利亚新南威尔士州议会于周三通过了允许人体堆肥的法律，使该州成为澳大利亚首个合法化这一做法的地区1。这项由独立议员Alex Greenwich提议的私人议员法案为居民提供了除埋葬和火葬外的第三种尸体处理选择1。
人体堆肥的过程约需30天，能将尸体转化为110公斤的"干燥、肥沃的无病原体土壤"1。独立议员Alex Greenwich曾赴德国和美国调研此做法1。议员John Ruddick表示："我很确定我会在遗嘱中写明我希望被进行堆肥处理"1，而议员Emma Hurst指出堆肥可完全实现碳中和，相比之下火葬能源密集且产生大量温室气体1。根据法案规定，此项实践仅限于专门设施进行，政府需在18个月内创建相关监管规定1。
New South Wales has passed legislation permitting natural organic reduction, commonly known as human composting, making it the first Australian state to authorize the practice.1 The private member's bill, introduced by independent MP Alex Greenwich, provides a third disposal option alongside traditional burial and cremation.1
The composting process converts a body into approximately 110 kilograms of dry, fertile, pathogen-free soil over roughly 30 days.1 Greenwich, who researched the practice in Germany and the United States before sponsoring the legislation, saw the law pass on Wednesday.1 The state government must establish regulatory frameworks within 18 months, with the practice limited to specialized facilities.1
Several parliamentarians have indicated their intention to utilize the method after death. John Ruddick stated, "I am quite confident I will write in my will that I wish to be composted."1 Emma Hurst emphasized the environmental benefits, noting that natural organic reduction achieves complete carbon neutrality compared to cremation, which is energy-intensive and generates substantial greenhouse gas emissions.1
