This partnership aims to accelerate the development of more efficient bioremediation technologies to combat soil, and groundwater pollution, paving the way for a healthier and more sustainable Europe.
Why is bioremediation so important?
The increasing number of contaminated sites in the EU poses a significant threat to both human health and the environment. Conventional remediation methods can be slow, expensive, and often ineffective over large areas. This is where biotechnological remediation techniques come into play. These solutions offer more efficient alternatives, using living organisms—such as microbes and bacteria—to restore polluted environments.
However, the potential of these techniques is not yet fully realized. There is still much to be done to develop more effective bioremediation strategies. New monitoring tools are being explored, and the functions of microbiomes are being analysed to better understand how these organisms can contribute to environmental remediation.
This video on the SYMBIOREM Project Youtube channel introduces the concept of bioremediation and its benefits.
