"Pollutive by-products" would probably best describe the pollutants created from a product manufacturing process. We could turn this into a phrase that fits the blank such as "pollutive by-product causing products," but it would be a bit wordy and sound unnatural. It may be better to reword the sentence to use an adjective clause like:

The government should not import products that cause pollutive by-products so as to reduce its off-shored pollution.

  • Ah ok, thank you so much for your answer. Actually, yours is similar to what I am currently using, which is "products that are from pollutive industries". If there is no other way around, then I will adopt yours.

    @gotube Not so fast! (When should I accept an answer?) I think it's a little soon to be suggesting that Elizabeth accept an answer.
