Product Description
For centuries the Placenta has received ceremonial handling around the world by many cultures. New Zealand Maori bury the placenta or “whenua” in native soil as a gift to Papa-Tu-a-nuku, or Mother-Earth.
Today, keeping and planting your placenta is becoming so popular that birthing facilities will pack the baby’s placenta into plastic bags that are toxic to our earth and messy to unpack.
Birth to Earth’s ‘Capceco’ Biodegradable Placenta Capsule is a world first, designed and made in New Zealand. Birth to Earth are encouraging parents to keep and plant their child’s Placenta under an oxygen giving tree which will remove up to a tonne of carbon emissions over its life.
The ‘Capceco’ Biodegradable Capsule requires no defrosting or unpacking, which is what usually puts parents off.” In fact, during the whole process you actually don’t see the physical placenta at all.
‘Capceco’ is 100% biodegradable made up of GM free cornstarch and recycled unbleached card that is printed with nontoxic vegetable inks. Once planted the whole pack will break down in a 6 to 8 week period, leaving no toxic residues.
Included in the ‘Capceco’ pack is ‘Your Tree’ a beautiful child’s keepsake story book that tells your child how their placenta was planted under a tree. Illustrated by Anton Petrov, ‘Your Tree” is a subtle way of encouraging children to care for nature. Parents can also record in the book what tree and where it was planted so the child has a permanent record of their birth tree. Also includes a permanent copper tree tag to record your child's name and birth date on their birth tree.
