Humanity these days has an ever-growing tendency to become more environmentally conscious. Using electric cars, solar panels and windmills in the name of sustainability is not a dream anymore. Biotechnology can easily be the solution for humanity to achieve a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way of life. All should understand the key areas where Biotechnology targets to help and gradually improve sustainability. Here is the list of the main issues scientific researches focus on these days. 

Improving the quality of soil and the water

All the chemicals which are the result of producing various products cause almost irreparable damage to the ground and the water of many rivers, lakes and even the sea. Therefore, it’s becoming crucial for humanity to find the best ways to ensure the soil and water become clean again. Biotechnology has tons of projects targeting the gradual improvement of soil and also works on finding the best possible ways to clean water. These next-gen technologies will include bio-remediation, bio-augmentation, and bio-regeneration.

Turning carbon dioxide into raw material

Carbon dioxide is the crucial substance that’s causing air pollution. And air pollution is the main reason behind tons of civilizational diseases, including allergy. This is why one of the critical goals of biotechnological researches target ways of turning all the carbon dioxide in the air into raw material. This way, the air would become gradually cleaner, and the substance itself would be used for the best too.

Finding the best ways to reuse all the waste

People don’t like to discuss the lethal effects of all the garbage they tend to drop off daily. But in reality, it’s a huge issue. That’s precisely why biotechnology has ongoing studies about how to turn the majority of waste into zero-waste by reusing them in the form of chemicals or bio-fuel, for instance.
