SDG 12 — Responsible Consumption and Production

SDG 12 is about how we make, buy, use, and dispose of things — and how to do that in ways that protect people and planet. It’s about cutting waste, designing for reuse and repair, reducing pollution, improving supply chains, and supporting businesses and communities that value fairness and sustainability. This SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production page on SDG.VISION shares films and stories of practical action — led by young people, communities, social enterprises, retailers, makers, councils, and innovators — showing how everyday choices and smarter systems can reduce harm and increase wellbeing.

If you’re reducing waste, changing habits, improving production, or building circular solutions, your story can inspire others.


What you’ll find on this SDG 12 page

  • Short films showing waste reduction and circular living in practice

  • Youth-led actions around plastics, fashion, food waste, and repair

  • Community projects improving reuse, recycling, and sharing systems

  • Business stories on ethical sourcing and responsible production

  • Practical solutions that reduce pollution and protect nature

Why share your responsible consumption story?

Because sustainable choices become normal when people can see them working. A short film can:

  • show simple, affordable ways to cut waste and save money

  • help communities copy initiatives like repair cafés and reuse hubs

  • encourage businesses to adopt circular, ethical models

  • build partnerships across schools, councils, and local organisations

  • celebrate practical progress — one habit and one system change at a time
