Purpose: The paper presents a necessity of the sustainable consumption, production and technology patterns to the companies introduced. Design/methodology/approach: In this article replacing unsustainable consumption and production model into sustainable consumption and production model proposed. Taking into consideration that resources are used beyond the earth's carrying capacity, leading to high waste yields and emissions into the atmosphere and water and inefficient use of natural resources, the only way to improvement this is sustainable development. Findings: The paper presents using sustainable production indicators to estimation of technological processes environmental influences. Indicators have increasingly been used as a tool to measure progress toward sustainable development at different levels - national, regional, local and company. Research limitations/implications: Using the sustainable consumption, production and technology are the only way for better life quality achievement. Practical implications: In the papers presented that achieving sustainable production, consumption and sustainable technology will require changes in industrial processes, in the type and quantity of resources used, in the treatment of waste, in the control of emissions and in the products produced. It is also necessary a development of production indicators to evaluate sustainable production. Originality/value: This article presented a necessity of a new approach to environment protection through sustainable production, consumption and sustainable technology. Sustainable consumption and sustainable production are complementary strategies for making economies more sustainable.
