Sustainable Production and Consumption Analysis Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that analyzes the sustainability of production and consumption.
AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about sustainable production and consumption.
The Nakaishi Lab studies analysis for making production and consumption sustainable from three angles: production activities, consumer behavior, and supply chains.
Socio-economic systems built on mass production and mass consumption bring with them side effects in the form of various environmental and social problems, such as climate change, resource depletion, air pollution, and child labor.
The SDGs, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, set "Responsible Consumption and Production" as Goal 12, with the aim of ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns.
The lab's website introduces it under the name "Nakaishi Lab."
Key terms

- The Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. Goal 12 is "Responsible Consumption and Production"
- Supply chain
- The worldwide network of supply that supports the production of goods, made complex by globalization
- Sustainable consumption and production
- Patterns of production and consumption considered key to sustaining the lives of present and future generations

The lab's website states that there is an urgent need to shift from a socio-economic system of mass production and mass consumption to a sustainable one of optimal production and consumption. The lab analyzes sustainability with a focus on three areas: production activities, consumer behavior, and supply chains.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of Sustainable Production Activities
Fossil-fuel-based production carries environmental problems, and production that pursues economic efficiency excessively carries the risk of social problems such as child labor. The lab considers how to realize production styles free of such problems.
*Illustrative imageSustainability of Consumer Behavior
Environmentally friendly products and services tend to be more expensive, and sustainable production cannot do without consumer support. The lab considers how to make consumption styles such as saving electricity and recycling take root among consumers.
*Illustrative imageVisualizing Supply Chains
Problems such as child labor in the production of final goods like coffee are hard to see because supply chains are complex. The lab considers ways to make this burden visible and to connect the behavior of producers and consumers.
