Review :
"...an excellent description of the state of the chemical industry with regard to sustainability...it is a daunting, virtually impossible task to do credit to the wide-ranging discussion in this book." (Journal of Hazardous Materials, August 2006) "...a very significant addition to the efforts to advance sustainable development. It will be widely read and applied by those who are working in the chemical industry." (Journal of Environmental Quality, March/April 2006)
