Bioremediation

Environmental bioremediation harnesses the power of microorganisms and plants to degrade, detoxify, and remove contaminants from soil, water, and air. Through natural processes such as biodegradation, phytoremediation, and microbial transformation, we can effectively mitigate the impact of pollutants on ecosystems and human health.
