Symbiotic, circular bioremediation systems and biotechnology solutions for improved environmental, economic and social sustainability in pollution control

SYMBIOREM的总体目标是提高土壤、沉积物、地表水和地下水的生物修复和再生策略的有效性、可持续性、循环性和成本效益。SYMBIOREM专注于先进的生物修复方法与循环生物基系统的交叉。开发了12种新型生物技术和策略，作为模块化解决方案，相互提高生物修复效率，利用二次投入，并将残留物和污染物转化为有价值的资源。SYMBIOREM研究具有生物修复能力的本地物种的开发潜力，包括微生物、微生物组、蛋白质、植物和动物。SYMBIOREM针对五种污染环境的原型：工业棕地，混合固体废物填埋场，混合污染的城市地表水体，污染的土壤和地表水体，以及欧洲海洋环境。SYMBIOREM针对欧洲土壤和地下水中四种最常见的污染物：重金属、矿物油、多环芳烃（PAH）和挥发性芳烃（VAH）。该项目还针对混合污染、富营养化、有机微污染物和微塑料。SYMBIOREM从污染场地中回收各种资源，包括几种关键原材料（CRM）。SYMBIOREM将提供有关生物修复剂及其组合功能的新知识，以及污染物再活化的危害。SYMBIOREM详细阐述了循环价值创造的新途径，并通过让公民和主要利益相关者参与参与研究、共同设计和共同管理生物修复站点，赋予人们权力，以促进自下而上的复制，提高生物修复和振兴战略的安全性和可持续性，旨在实现欧盟零污染行动计划的目标。

The overall goal of SYMBIOREM is to improve the effectiveness, sustainability, circularity and cost-efficiency of bioremediation and revitalisation strategies for soils, sediments, surface water and groundwater. SYMBIOREM focuses on the intersection of advanced bioremediation methods with circular bio-based systems. Twelve novel bio-based technologies and strategies are developed as modular solutions to mutually enhance bioremediation efficiency, use secondary inputs, and turn residues and contaminants into valuable resources. SYMBIOREM investigates the exploitation potential of indigenous species with bioremediation capabilities, including microorganisms, microbiomes, proteins, plants and animals. SYMBIOREM targets five archetypes of contaminated environments: industrial brownfields, mixed solid waste landfills, urban surface water bodies with mixed contamination, contaminated soils and surface water bodies, and European marine environments. SYMBIOREM targets the four most common pollutants of soil and groundwater in Europe: heavy metals, mineral oil, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) and Volatile Aromatic Hydrocarbons (VAH). The project also targets mixed contamination, eutrophication, organic micropollutants and microplastic. SYMBIOREM recovers a diverse portfolio of resources from contaminated sites, including several Critical Raw Materials (CRM). SYMBIOREM will deliver new knowledge about bioremediation agents, their functionality in combination, as well as hazards of pollutant remobilisation. SYMBIOREM elaborates new avenues for circular value creation and empowers people on the ground by involving citizens and key stakeholders in participatory research, co-design and co-management of bioremediation sites, to facilitate bottom-up replication and increased safety and sustainability of bioremediation and revitalization strategies in aims to achieve the targets of the EU Zero Pollution Action Plan.
