Chemistry's green evolution

Article Abstract:

Green chemistry is a set of principles dedicated to creating more efficient industrial chemicals, drugs and products, driven by a mixture of political, economic and cultural factors with an aim to reduce waste. The political drive comes from regulations such as the US Pollution Protection Act, that are forcing companies to develop cleaner processes, and the cultural drive is provided by consumers and scientists who are becoming more aware of the need for cleaner processes.
