Bioremediation and Waste Management for Environmental Sustainability

Abstract

gricultural practices, industrial manufacturing, and lifestyle of human beings have raised the accumulation of hazardous compounds into the surrounding. It has drastically increased health issues and environmental concerns. Therefore, there is an urgent need for eco-friendly approaches to solving these multiple issues at a time. Contrary to the harmful chemical methods, bioremediation has emerged as an eco-friendly substitute for sustainable development. Bioremediation utilizes living microbiomes for cleaning environment and their sustainability. As advancement in science and technology, researchers have developed various bioremediation techniques but because of nature and type of pollutant, there is no single ‘silver bullet’ which can be applied to restore the polluted environment. The ever-increasing population and our reckless acts are turning the Earth into a huge garbage dump. The indiscriminate exploitation of resources making this condition worsen. Moreover, it is a major cause of climatic irregularities, environmental destructions, biodiversity shrinking, disease outbreaks, and agricultural issues. The present waste management efforts are proving insufficient to handle this situation.
