Resumo: This article investigates how consumers perceive the trade-offs involved in sustainable consumption. It consists of an exploratory field study, with a qualitative approach, in which 9 consumers who declared themselves adept at sustainable consumption were interviewed. Most of the interviewees were aware that there are trade-offs involved in this consumption. Nevertheless, it was observed that they tend to simplify the concepts addressed, emphasizing the environmental aspect, in particular, the disposal of waste. This trend is reflected in consumption practices, which are highly focused on reuse to the detriment of other aspects of sustainability such as saving resources and non-consumption.

Fue una investigación de campo, exploratoria y con enfoque cualitativo, en la que se entrevistó a 9 consumidoras que se declararon adeptas al consumo sustentable. La mayoría de los entrevistados eran conscientes de que existen compensaciones involucradas en este consumo. Sin embargo, se observó que tienden a simplificar los conceptos abordados, enfatizando el aspecto ambiental, en particular, la disposición de residuos. Esta tendencia se refleja en las prácticas de consumo, muy centradas en la reutilización en detrimento de otros aspectos de la sostenibilidad como el ahorro de recursos y el no consumo. Este artigo investigou como os consumidores percebem as compensações (trade-offs) envolvidas no consumo sustentável. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa de campo, exploratória e com abordagem qualitativa, em que foram entrevistadas 9 consumidoras que se autodeclaram adeptas do consumo sustentável. A maioria das entrevistadas estava ciente de que existem trade-offs envolvidos nesse consumo. Porém, observou-se que elas tendem a simplificar os conceitos abordados, enfatizando o aspecto ambiental, em especial, o descarte de resíduos. Essa tendência reflete nas práticas de consumo, muito voltadas para o reuso em detrimento de outros aspectos da sustentabilidade como a economia de recursos e o não-consumo.FEAAC/UFC2022-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/ziphttp://periodicos.ufc.br/contextus/article/view/7822510.19094/contextus.2022.78225Contextus - Contemporary Journal of Economics and Management; Vol 20: jan/dec 2022; 137-150Contextus – Revista Contemporánea de Economía y Gestión; Vol. 20: jan/dez 2022; 137-150Contextus – Revista Contemporânea de Economia e Gestão; v. 20: jan/dez 2022; 137-1502178-92581678-2089reponame:Contextus (Fortaleza.
