In a bid to ensure the concept of "cradle to grave" Bata shoe company have adopted the biological remedy strategy known as phytoremediation. Bioremdiation can be referred to as a process in which we make use of biological agents to remove toxic waste from the environment. In a statement read by the Managing Director their aim is to plant more trees to curb the toxic substances in water and soil which would have remained after their water purification.

One may wonder how then does this process work, being a natural process which relies on plants to alter contaminants as they carry out their normal life functions. The plants will extract the contaminants from the soil, store them in their trunks and use them fo various purposes. This implies that plants are essential in removing the contaminants or impairments of quality from the environment.

With their five year plan plan Bata shoe company is on the recovery path as it aims to ensure enviromental protection through land rehabilitation and water quality improvement. Together we can, build the future today.
