As a gold open access journal, article processing charges (APCs) apply. These are currently £1250/$1500/€1440.

Aims and scope

Since sustainable consumption and production aims at doing more and better with less, it is not just producers but us as consumers that need to make more responsible choices. This open access journal advances knowledge in respect of resources (human and physical), energy efficiency and sustainable infrastructure. Your research should contribute to and advance studies that contribute to a more ethical, responsible, and sustainable way of working.

Your research should be of value to practitioners and industry, as well as to the academic community. All article types and methodologies will be considered where content is relevant to current needs, offering specific guidance and problem-solving in key areas and contributing to the achievement of the UN SDGs. Further, we actively encourage an interdisciplinary approach particularly where this engenders greater collaboration between academia and for profit and non-profit enterprises.
