Week Four - Website review: Atom Economy

Ummmm, ok I kind of skipped over the #'s and charts because frankly it's a bit over my head. But what I gathered from the reading is that it's using a standardized number to compare, basically the efficiency of various chemical reactions. This seems like a great way to monitor over time how well companies are doing with reducing their chemical wastes and by-products. I'm not certain how strictly, if at all, any of these atom economy % are enforced, but perhaps as stricter government regulations are imposed to enforce a greener chemical industry, these #'s can be of great value.
