Abstract: Sustainable development and environmental protection issues have recently become increasingly established principles in our society and everyday culture in recent years. At the same time, increasing levels of consumption is one of the main contributors to the continuing environmental degradation threatening the idea of sustainable development. Therefore, along with sustainable development, sustainable consumption is also important. Sustainable consumption also plays an important role in the new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – first as a cross – cutting theme in the agenda as a whole and secondly as a separate goal. At this juncture, it is necessary to think about environmentally sustainable way of consumption i.e., consumption of green products which is one of the very effective tools to achieve sustainable development.  The purpose of this paper is to discuss about such products and how they contribute to sustainable development. The paper is theoretical in nature, which is prepared with the help of available literature. Finally, the paper suggests some ways to increase the consumption of green products.
