Summary/Abstract: Sustainable consumption refers to the concept of sustainable development, and collaborative consumption is one of its manifestations. The aim of the article is to identify attitudes and behaviours of Polish consumers related to the idea of sustainable consumption. The implementation of the objective required the use of relevant Polish and foreign literature sources as well as the results of empirical research carried out as part of the research projects financed with the resources of the National Science Centre (2011/03/B/HS4/04417 and 2013/09/B/HS4/01965). The research findings point to the fact that the respondents’ knowledge on collaborative consumption is limited in Poland, and not everyone is interested in using this form of consumption.
