Micro-organisms have already been used for many bioremediation processes to degrade pollutants produced by human activity, but the development of industrial waste that is more and more complex and toxic is making bioremediation and the use of biotechnology in environmental management more and more attractive. Indeed :
- The world population is growing and the industrialization of an increasing number of developing countries leads to increasing chemical waste,
- Traditional methods and treatments are often costly and harmful,
- There is a high public demand for “greener” alternatives, using non-GMOs as the only acceptable environmental friendly approach.
Using the tools of improvement by natural selection mastered by Evolugate can elevate the field of waste biodegradation, from an environmental “by-market” to a viable and legitimate industry associated in many ways to modern life. Examples of how Evolugate can contribute to this industry are listed below.
Soil bio-remediation. With its ability to evolve both aerobic and anaerobic natural strains, Evolugate could greatly improve every bacterial in situ remediation process, avoiding heavy techniques like air sparging injection. This technology addresses both accidental pollution treatment and the rehabilitation of post-industry sites.
Chemical hazardous materials. The pressure of regulation in the past few decades has led the chemical industry to store massive quantities of hazardous materials, awaiting new treatment techniques. With its capacity to adapt bacteria for tolerance to higher concentrations of hazardous materials, Evolugate could greatly improve ex situ techniques for the elimination or concentration of simple chemicals, heavy metals derivatives or radioactive substances. Ex-situ treatments are the only field of bioremediation that can use genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which can then be improved using our Evolugator technology.
