recomposition
Forming anew again
Recomposition is the act of putting something back together, often in a new arrangement.
Music may be recomposed by reworking existing material.
In ecology, recomposition describes organic matter breaking down and reforming into soil.
A recent sense refers to human composting—the conversion of a body into earth after death: She chose recomposition over traditional burial.
