Remediation technologies are essential sustainable solutions for pollutants recovery from different rich and varied soils especially with the rapidly increasing population and the related anthropogenic activities. Unfortunately, majority, if not all, traditional physicochemical methods of soil remediation are often predicated on environmentally-destructive and/or economically-infeasible techniques. Consequently, there is the development of more innovative and sustainable eco-friendly biological methods of soil remediation termed Gentle Remediation Options (GROs). This doesn’t just reduce the concentration of soil contaminants below regulatory limits but maintains the legally-and ethically-required minimization of risk for human and environmental health, concurrently creating a recovery of soil health amongst others. GROs often bring environmental, economic and social benefits by integrating the biological remediation options such as phytoremediation, vermiremediation and bioremediation with the creation of economic revenues. It is expedient to look into future prospects of recent technologies such as combining GROs with nanoremediation in mitigating contaminated soils for optimum results.
