Purpose: This paper presents a development of ecomaterials particularly in materials technology. Using this materials make possible minimize the environmental load in a whole "life". The design criteria for ecomaterials include compatibility with humans and the environment in addition to the traditional physical, mechanical and chemical properties. Design/methodology/approach: Using ecomaterials would help the manufacturers as well as consumers in material and product selection in the aim of achieving sustainable development (SD). Findings: The concept of "ecomaterials" shows the necessary directions of materials development what allows protection the environment from resource depletion, global warming, ozone depletion and dioxin contamination, etc. Research limitations/implications: More fundamental research and new ideas are needed in order for these materials (ecomaterials) to receive widespread use in the near future. Practical implications: The most important thing is that all materials and their properties should be reconsidered from the ecomaterials viewpoint. It is necessary to demand materials (products) with less environmental load, improved recyclability and achieved maximum performance with the least material consumption. In order to establish the fundamental design and assessment techniques for ecomaterials, a research projects should be still organized. Originality/value: In the paper ecomaterials as a key conception for materials technology what will help reduce the environmental impact of product produced and consumed and promote the emergence of a high-recycling-rate society.
