British Company Melts Down Parts From Deceased Relatives And Turns Them Into Road Signs

[Initech]

METAL body parts from the dead are being recycled into road signs, lamp posts, car parts and aircraft engines.

Steel hips, plates and screws from legs and skulls are collected after cremation and sent off for recycling.

Even metal plates from false teeth and tiny fragments from fillings can be recovered and re-used, together with metal fittings on coffins.

The metals, which survive the 1,000°C cremation, are then sold for use in the automobile and aeronautical industries.

They include cobalt and titanium, found in some implants and dental work, with cobalt used in aircraft engines.

Less valuable metals are smelted down and sold for more general use — including road signs, motorway barriers and lamp posts.

1. They should ship them to the U.S. SS recepients of chained CPI could buy them at discount

when needed, instead of paying full price. So what if they don't fit tight a little bit. They are supposed to substitute lower priced stuff when they can't afford to pay full price.
