Plant and microbial biotechnology provide practical pathways for addressing pollution and restoring degraded environments. This contributed volume brings together current knowledge on how biological systems can replace inefficient and resource-intensive physical and chemical methods in waste management. It explains how plants, microbes, and their interactions can transform hazardous wastes into products that re-enter natural cycles, supporting cleaner and more sustainable environmental practices. The volume examines core technologies used in air purification, wastewater treatment, and soil remediation, with detailed attention to bioremediation and phytoremediation. It outlines how microbial consortia and plant systems can detoxify contaminants at polluted sites and contribute to long-term restoration. Advances in recombinant DNA technology are also presented, showing how engineered microorganisms can be tailored for specific environmental applications. Drawing on a wide range of studies, the book reviews microbial strains, enzymes, and plant species with proven remediation potential. It also explores plant–microbe interactions that enable the development of safer, bio-based alternatives to conventional chemical products. By integrating scientific insight with applied approaches, the book provides a clear framework for advancing waste management and site restoration through biotechnology.
