Eco-packaging

Eco-packaging and the GATT Policy Negotiations

In relation to the GATT Policy Negotiations, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following explanation and/or definition of Eco-packaging: Refers to national regulations and programs to encourage recycling or reuse of product packaging and containers, together with associated labeling designed to promote use of “environment-friendly” packaging. Discussions in the GA TT Group on Environmental Measures and International Trade (Sec. III) have addressed application of eco-packaging and labeling requirements in ways that do not discriminate against foreign products.
