Eco-dumping

Eco-dumping in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, a definition of this issue is as follows: used in common parlance for the production of goods for export under substandard environmental conditions. The term does not have proper standing in trade policy formulation. The practice is assumed to give producers a cost advantage in export markets where more stringent conditions apply. The entries on trade policy are here. It appears, however, that production costs that can be ascribed to environmental regulations are a much smaller factor in total costs than other production costs. Generally, it is likely that they account for no more than 2% of total production cost. See also eco-duties and trade and environment.[1]
