Tea, the major beverage worldwide, is one of the oldest commercial commodities traded from ancient times. Apart from many of its advantages, including health, socio-economic, climatic, and agro-ecological values, FAO has recognized that the tea value chain covering its growth in the field, processing and marketing, and finally, the hot cup at the user's hand needs to be made sustainable during all these stages. Tea generates a lot of waste in different forms in different stages of its growth and processing, and these wastes, if not managed properly, may cause environmental pollution.

Biodegradation of oil spill by petroleum refineries using consortia of novel bacterial strains.
Bull Environ Contam Toxicol
August 2012
Article Synopsis
- A feasibility study indicated that a specially introduced bacterial consortium successfully adapted to the contaminated soil at the bioremediation site.
- Soil samples taken at various time intervals showed significant reduction in total petroleum hydrocarbons after treatment; initial concentrations ranged from 18.80% to 30.90% and were reduced to around 1% after 360 days.
- In contrast, a control plot without the bacterial consortium only saw a 5% degradation in pollutant levels over the same period.
