The Costs and Benefits of Compliance with International Environmental Standards
The research examines the impact of international environmental standards on Pakistan's leather and textile exports. It identifies 'win-win' scenarios where in-plant cleaner production measures reduce costs and pollution, but notes that expensive end-of-pipe treatments often lead to 'net-loss' for SMEs. The paper highlights a gap between formal ISO certifications and actual compliance, and argues that Pakistan must build institutional capacity to leverage WTO agreements (TBT and SPS) to maintain market access as voluntary standards increase.
