摘要

The invention relates to an absorption mat, comprising at least a biodegradable bottom layer which is impermeable to fluid, a biodegradable intermediate layer with odour-absorbing and fluid-absorbing constituents, and a biodegradable top layer which is permeable to fluid, which absorption mat during decomposition, in particular during incineration, does not release hazardous waste substances, and which absorption mat has an absorbency of at least 4 litres of body fluid per square metre of absorption mat. The invention also relates to the use of an absorption mat as an absorbent layer in a coffin, and to the use of an absorption mat as the removable cover of a bed or seat for humans or animals with incontinence problems, and to the use of an absorption mat as the removable cover of an operating table, dissecting table or stretcher.
