The achievement of goals regarding sustainable development requires radical reforms of the way of thinking with reference to the aims of management and doing business and also redefinition of the approach to the problem of satisfaction of needs (consumption). The idea of permanent consumption, which results from the issue of sustainable development, is not tantamount to a demand that the needs should be limited, but it entails a demand for another approach to ways of their satisfaction, i.e. for such consumption which does not generate unnecessary environmental and social costs. To meet this demand, a rise in activity of the public sector is essential.

In recent decades, there is an increase in new environmental problems in the world, which gradually grow from the local to the global level, and their short- -term consequences are gradually becoming long-term complex threats to the environment and thus the quality of life of current and especially future generations. The main goal of the article was to review the behaviour and attitudes of environmentally responsible consumers on the Slovak market and analyse the individual components of consumption and waste policy within the regions in the Slovak Republic in the context of environmental protection. Based on the cluster analysis and decision trees, we concluded that Slovak consumers rarely include eco-products in their consumption, mainly due to the high price or poor availability of these products. Through a cluster analysis, we analysed the consumption and specificities of individual Slovak regions, while the recommendation is to create special different strategies focused on the regions of the Slovak Republic, based on waste reduction or the creation of waste recovery plants, which can create a favourable development in the circular economy of the Slovak Republic, and thus reduce the negative aspects of consumption affecting the environment and quality of life in the Slovak Republic.
