Global Trends in Pet Aftercare:
Why the World Is Switching to Aquamation
An Educational & Branding Toolkit for Pet Aftercare Businesses in Thailand and Vietnam
As environmental awareness grows and pet care technology evolves, one clear trend has emerged in the global aftercare industry: the shift from flame cremation to Aquamation.
As a professional Pet Aquamation machine manufacturer and supplier, we’ve seen firsthand how business operators around the world are adopting alkaline hydrolysis technology as the preferred solution for more ethical, sustainable, and eco-conscious pet aftercare.
This article explores the global movement, the key reasons behind it, and how you—as a local operator in Bangkok, Hanoi, or other Southeast Asian cities—can educate your customers and position your business as a forward-thinking brand.
Global Trends Driving the Rise of Aquamation
1. Stricter Environmental Regulations
Countries like the U.S., Canada, UK, and Australia are tightening emissions laws for traditional flame cremation.
Aquamation is recognized as a zero-emission alternative.
2. Consumer Demand for Gentle, Natural Farewells
Pet parents increasingly view animals as family. They seek a farewell method that feels honoring and peaceful—not harsh or fiery.
3. Urban Cities Need Sustainable Solutions
Dense areas like Bangkok, Hanoi, and Jakarta face space constraints and pollution concerns. Aquamation produces no smoke, odor, or toxic residue.
4. Media & PR Value in Eco-Friendly Innovation
Aquamation often attracts positive media coverage due to its alignment with sustainability and modern values.
