About this page

This page outlines the Consumer Affairs Agency's initiatives for developing independent consumers and realizing a consumer citizen society. Based on the Consumer Education Promotion Act, lifelong consumer education is provided across various settings. The agency promotes ethical consumption addressing social and environmental concerns, aligned with SDG Goal 12. Additionally, it encourages green-oriented consumption behavior and works to reduce food waste. Japan's annual food waste totals 4.64 million tons, with approximately half generated from households. Per capita, this equals about 37kg annually, equivalent to one rice ball daily.
