Abstract: Abstract This research was conducted to clarify consumer household behavior toward waste sorting as it is known that the proportion of waste originating from households in developing countries is significant, and the amount continues to increase every year. This quantitative research was conducted on a total of 404 data taken from consumer households using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. Data processing was carried out by measuring the model and testing the structural model with the help of Smart-PLS 4. Responsible consumption is a construct that can mediate the relationship between awareness of the consequences of waste sorting behavior. Consequence awareness constructs and responsible consumption patterns are a strong foundation for creating household waste-sorting behavior. The novelty in this study is related to the involvement of the consumption pattern construct in research on waste behavior in developing countries. Household consumption patterns in developing countries like Indonesia tend to have high consumption levels, which impact the potential for the generated amount of waste.
