Description
This report presents a summary of the discussion from a three-day workshop held in Chile. The objective of the workshop is to build capacity on identifying products that do not contain mercury available in the market which are manufactured, imported and exported by APEC member economies. It aimed to identify cost-effective alternative to replace products with mercury added and which are regulated by the article 3 and 4 of Minamata Convention. The workshop also included discussions on best practice, opportunities and limitations as well as lessons learned for the use of products without mercury added.
