Electrochemists all over the world are supporting industrial efforts to a {open_quotes}sustainable development{close_quotes}. Electrochemistry seems to have some valuable tools to realize a better environment. Electrons seem to be most helpful chemicals. They have, in theory, no byproducts. Potential control can often be applied, a convenient tool for optimum selectivity. Electroanalytical techniques have widespread applications-not only in chemical industry. On the other hand, industry is sometimes very reluctant to apply new electrochemical techniques. Why do people stubbornly stick to their old methods? Some answers will be given.
