Abstract Sufficient knowledge of the consumer perception of the environmental sustainability of wood products is a prerequisite for adoption of any policy (either at corporate or national level) supporting development of this market. Through questioning, we obtained profile data of the consumers and their preferences when buying products, in the context of sustainability. A total of 311 respondents participated in completing the questionnaire. In addition to the perceptions of environmental sustainability of wood products, the design of the survey includes the following areas: the negative impact of consumer behaviour and the formation of pro-environmental attitudes. The findings show that the vast majority of respondents consider wood products to be environmentally friendly, recyclable, harmless in disposal, aesthetic, and products that create mental well-being. Most respondents perceive the association of wood products with renewable resources. The most negative attitudes were expressed when claiming that wood products are safe to dispose of.
