Abstract Phthalates have become a widespread environmental pollutant that has severe implications for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. They are found in various sources, including industrial processes, consumer products, food packaging, resulting significant contamination. Their persistence ability to bioaccumulate present risks, especially impacting reproductive, developmental, endocrine systems humans. This review explores how phthalates function as mixed micropollutants, adding complexity their evaluation control systems. It also focuses on remediation strategies using novel biotechnological approaches, such enzymatic degradation, genetic engineering, microbial remediation, nanotechnology‐based approaches. Enzymatic degradation utilizes specific enzymes the breakdown of phthalates, thereby, transforming them into less toxic metabolites. Novel engineering techniques opened possibilities improving by microorganisms, offering potential solutions more efficient remediation. Nanotechnology‐based approaches showcase effectiveness nanomaterials absorbing breaking down molecular scale. highlights importance consortia biochar‐microbial composites restoration. The unique contribution this lies its comprehensive analysis advanced phthalate emphasizing synergistic protect safeguard environment future generations.
