This report highlights the university&#8217;s strategies and achievements in advancing SDG 12.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><strong>University Policies and Operational Measures<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\">The University of El Oued has established comprehensive policies and practices that promote responsible consumption and production within the campus community.<\/span><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><strong>Ethical Sourcing Policy<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\">The University of El Oued follows an ethical sourcing policy that emphasizes the procurement of food and supplies from sustainable sources. The university collaborates with local vendors to source materials responsibly, supporting Algeria\u2019s sustainable consumption initiatives and promoting fair trade and environmentally friendly practices across the supply chain. This policy aligns with Algeria\u2019s national SCP-NAP to encourage responsible business practices and resource conservation.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><strong>Waste Disposal Policies for Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Materials<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\">Waste management at the University of El Oued includes stringent processes for disposing of hazardous materials in compliance with national environmental regulations. These processes involve the safe collection, handling, and disposal of hazardous chemicals and other waste produced in laboratories and workshops. Furthermore, the university has implemented a landfill policy to track and minimize waste. The policy requires that waste be sorted, with recyclable materials separated from landfill-bound waste, supporting Algeria\u2019s goal of achieving a zero-waste economy by 2030.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><strong>Policies for Minimizing Plastic and Disposable Item Usage<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\">In line with its commitment to reducing plastic pollution, the University of El Oued has introduced policies to minimize plastic and single-use disposable items on campus. The policy encourages the use of reusable containers, promotes eco-friendly alternatives, and discourages plastic packaging in campus food services. These policies also extend to external vendors and suppliers, who are required to follow the university&#8217;s sustainability guidelines to reduce environmental impact.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><strong>Extension of Sustainability Policies to Outsourced Services and Suppliers<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\">The university\u2019s policies on responsible consumption extend to outsourced services and suppliers, such as those providing equipment, stationery, and building materials. By ensuring that all contractors and suppliers adhere to these sustainable practices, the university promotes a culture of responsibility and environmental stewardship across its entire supply chain. This approach is consistent with Algeria\u2019s SCP-NAP, which emphasizes collaboration with stakeholders to promote sustainable practices.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><strong>Research and Innovation in Sustainable Consumption<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\">Research at the University of El Oued focuses on innovative approaches to responsible consumption and production, contributing to Algeria\u2019s environmental and economic goals.<\/span><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><strong>Sustainable Building Materials<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\">Research on sustainable construction materials at the university has led to the development of eco-friendly building solutions. For example, studies utilizing local materials, such as dune sand, rubber aggregates, and crushed clay brick waste, have shown potential for eco-mortar applications in construction. Through experimental analysis, researchers found that certain combinations of local materials improved the mechanical properties of eco-mortar, offering both economic and ecological benefits. This innovation supports sustainable construction by reducing the demand for non-renewable resources and aligns with the SCP-NAP\u2019s goals of promoting resource efficiency.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><strong>Environmentally-Friendly Consumption Behaviour<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\">The university is also contributing to sustainable consumption research by exploring factors that influence environmentally-friendly behaviour, specifically in organic food consumption. A recent study applied the Theory of Planned Behaviour to examine the drivers of organic food purchasing intentions, integrating factors such as product-specific attitudes and future orientation. Findings suggest that while product-specific attitudes and availability positively impact organic food consumption, subjective norms are less influential. These insights offer valuable recommendations for promoting sustainable consumption patterns, aligning with Algeria\u2019s national objectives to reduce the environmental impact of consumption.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><strong>Education and Community Engagement<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\">The University of El Oued actively engages students, staff, and the broader community in sustainability education and responsible consumption practices.<\/span><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><strong>Sustainability Education Programs<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-family: Georgia, serif;\">The university integrates sustainability principles into its academic curriculum, particularly within environmental science and engineering courses.
