Biodegradable caskets from EcoffinsUSA
OK, it's not exactly an technological advancement, but it does solve a couple of environmental problems that are caused by the traditional burial process. Many conventional coffins are constructed out of threatened old-growth woods like mahogany and are sealed with toxic sealants or paints. EcoffinsUSA's lineup is woven out of sustainably-grown, 'fair trade' bamboo, willow, and banana.

EcoffinUSA's suppliers may be stretched out across the globe, but their caskets -- and urns -- are shipped with their carbon footprint in mind:
"Our Company's commitment to minimizing our carbon footprint dictates our desire to deliver larger quantities, shipped Russian Doll style, directly from our worldwide factories to the United States. From there, a funeral professional has easier access to our products, and would be able to pass along the costs savings to the family, providing an affordable, attractive environmentally friendly focal point to any ceremony."[via Treehugger]
