Applications of Biotechnology in Environment Preservation and Sustainability: An empirical investigation
Rekha Goswami
Abstract
Biotechnology has emerged as a pivotal instrument in the realm of ecological preservation, as it has been employed to combat an array of environmental predicaments like pollution, climate change, and exhaustion of resources. This empirical exploration delves into the various applications of biotechnology in the ecosystem, with a specific focus on its role in advancing sustainability. The inquiry scrutinizes diverse biotechnological implementations, encompassing bioremediation, bioenergy, and bioplastics. Bioremediation entails harnessing microorganisms to disintegrate and eliminate pollutants from the environment, whereas bioenergy involves the metamorphosis of organic matter into energy. Conversely, bioplastics are a type of plastic originating from renewable resources like corn starch and sugarcane, which can be decomposed into benign compounds.
