White Paper for a Global Minimum Transparency Standard (GMTS) for hazardous chemicals in products

This white paper presents the case for a global standard requiring disclosure of hazardous chemicals used in a product in international trade. Intended as a thought-starter, it explains why a transparency standard is necessary to protect human and environmental health and how it would form an essential foundation for a safe circular economy and assist countries in adding information to their national health registries. The paper identifies some of the issues that might arise in designing and implementing a global transparency standard, and it makes suggestions for how to address those issues.
