Abstract

Undoubtedly, electronic goods made life easier for people and supplied It made life easier for everyone
and gave comfort. However ongoing updates, the short lifespan of electronic products, affordable prices,
and illegal disposal of electronic waste, as a result, electronic waste has made electronic waste faster
growing. This review highlights current bioremediation techniques, bacterial and fungal bioleaching
utilize normally occurring microorganisms and their by-products to extract valuable metals, which,
because of its affordability, environmental friendliness, and sustainability, is a promising technique.
Bacterial species are resistant to high concentrations of heavy metals and organic pollutants were
highlighted which have possibly potential remediation properties.
