Consumerism is the particular relationship to consumption in which we seek to meet our emotional and social needs through purchasing. Overconsumption exists when households take far more resources than they need and then it is believed that, the world can be sustained and developed. The new presented paradigm is contrary and different then the dimensions of current’s sustainability. According to this issue, shortening lifecyle time of product is actually result of current’s paradigm within some assumptions, beliefs and values. This concept which relates the current’s sustainability is summarized as “If goods, products do not wear out faster, factories will be idle, and people will be unemployed”. The new our presented sustainability is closely related to the concept of development which considers the requirements of the present by providing the ability of the future generations to meet basic needs of household. This holistic view breaks down barriers between sectors and disciplines. In this context, interconnection is the key point for sustainable development. Unlimited economy demands of Turkey’s production depends on the amount of households’ consumption in their way of life that their generation seek spiritual satisfaction, ego satisfaction in consumption. Hyperconsumerism is caused by obsolescence results in increasing volumes and varieties of both solid and hazardous wastes requiring an effective waste management. As a result, the carbon footprint indicates all greenhouse gas emissions along the whole life-cycle. This is a paradigm not to sustain the world life and a paradigm shift is needed for really sustainable world and macro level sustainability of supply chain management systems. Consumers can contribute significantly to reduce the product carbon footprint. Environmental goods and services play a key role in the sustainable development process. The purpose of this study is to present an overview of current’s sustainabilty concept and a new paradigm of sustainability paradigm. In addition, this research aims to define an implementation about apparel sector in Turkey to detect errors that affect production in a textile business, to define and decrease the effects of negative factors and it involves which ranked according to their primary with FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) application and also this research provides to reduce the risks, achieves the results of application and gives the importance of CO2 emission for garment industry.FMEA, consumerism, sustainability, supply-change management system.
