landfill bioremediation

Landfill bioremediation is an environmental cleanup process that uses natural biological processes to break down waste in landfills. It involves introducing microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, that can decompose organic materials and pollutants. By enhancing conditions like moisture and oxygen, these microbes can more effectively break down harmful substances, reducing landfill size and pollution. This method is often more sustainable and cost-effective than traditional methods, helping to restore contaminated sites while minimizing environmental impact. Overall, it contributes to safer ecosystems and improved waste management practices.
