  SYNPOSIS  
  The workshop, based on tri-partied representation from each country (environment and trade/industry departments as well as private sector), discussed practical avenues for implementing the concept of "environmentally sound management of waste destined for recovery operations" (ESM).

Participants decided to go ahead with a work programme on developing a template of elements for the implementation of ESM. As a first step, the UNCTAD secretariat was asked to prepare for the next workshop a study that compiles information on the already implemented explicit or implicit ESM programmes of national governments and company-level ESM systems. Lead recovery from used lead-acid batteries would serve as example in this regard in the light of the wealth of information that was available on this case and the support pledged by the key lead recovery companies in the rapidly industrializing countries.

Participants emphasized that the workshop process could thus facilitate the development of a new international environmental standard, the drafting of which would be driven by rapidly industrializing (developing) countries.
