Abstract: Extending the product life cycle can be one of the viable solutions for implementing sustainable development and circular economy. However, there is evidence of some consumerist approach to product development and promotion. From the intrinsic quality and design, to the packaging, the consumer cannot extract all the benefits that the products can offer. These modalities of producers and distributors are extremely negative on the environment: more valuable raw materials are consumed, more garbage is produced and more harmful substances are generated. Thus, climate protection is contrary to the desire of any producer: a higher profit as easily obtained. Thus, the article comes to highlight a number of solutions both for the benefit of the environment and the consumer as well as for the producers.
