Hybrid biodegradation of petroleum drill waste through vermitechnology integrated with hydrocarbon degrading microbial consortia: Promoting enhanced vermicomposting and waste valorization

Puntos clave

• Enhanced vermicomposting effectively reduces petroleum drill waste through microbial activity and earthworms.
• The combination of vermitechnology and microbial consortia achieves significant degradation of hydrocarbons in waste.
• Assessment of biodegradation processes reveals a crucial role of hybrid systems in environmental sustainability.
• Findings may encourage broader applications in waste management for similar environmental challenges.
