Abstract:
The environment has a crucial role in supporting human life as well as that of other biotic species. An indicator of the survival and well-being of all its constituent parts is the physical environment's level of sustainability. The optimal approach to environmental sustainability involves recycling all waste materials back into the ecosystem, turning it into a valuable resource that supports the biotic and abiotic interactions that keep the aesthetically pleasing and physiologically stable balance that defines an ideal setting. The biological approach of environmental sustainability is one of the methods examined in this study. It looks into the different biotechnological tools (bio tools) that are currently in use and those that are being researched for potential future applications. Due to its potential and uses in aquaculture, agriculture, immunology, chemical manufacturing, industrial processes, pollution management, etc., biotechnology has attracted a lot of interest recently. However, without biotechnology, environmental conservation in the present day is unimaginable. Methods based on biotechnology are essential in the sectors of soil, wastewater, and exhaust air cleansing. Moreover, system biology and microbiology help purification and biowaste recycling facilities become more efficient. The biotechnology sector in India is starting to gain international recognition and has developed during the previous 20 years as a result of irregular and dispersed corporate and academic endeavours. Integrating these initiatives is essential. Despite outstanding biotechnology research and development (R&D) efforts, the biotechnology industry's growth has not been at all gratifying.
