Bioremediation stands as a promising solution amid the escalating challenges posed by environmental pollution. Over the past 25 years, the influx of synthetic chemicals and hazardous contaminants into ecosystems has required innovative approaches for mitigation and restoration. The resilience of these compounds stems from their non-natural existence, distressing both human and environmental health. Microbes take center stage in this scenario, demonstrating their ability of biodegradation to catalyze environmental remediation. Currently, the scientific community supports a straight connection between biorefinery and bioremediation concepts to encourage circular bio/economy practices. This review aimed to give a pre-overview of the state of the art regarding the main microorganisms employed in bioremediation processes and the different bioremediation approaches applied. Moreover, focus has been given to the implementation of bioremediation as a novel approach to agro-industrial waste management, highlighting how it is possible to reduce environmental pollution while still obtaining value-added products with commercial value, meeting the goals of a circular bioeconomy. The main drawbacks and challenges regarding the feasibility of bioremediation were also reported. |
