Bioremediation is an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable approach to environmental restoration. Despite its potential to address pollution and support the transition to a green economy, bioremediation remains underutilized compared to conventional remediation methods. This review explores the role of bioremediation in mitigating environmental contaminants, its economic and ecological advantages, and the challenges hindering its widespread adoption. By integrating bioremediation into green policies, societies can harness its full potential for sustainable development.
