The growth of products and services consumption, including the technological ones, turns necessary to rethink our behavior in a way that it minimizes the impacts of consumption in our society, as well as on future generations and improves mental, physical and social well-being. Sustainable Interaction Design (SID), a field of study within HCI, argues that sustainability must be the primary focus of projects involving the use of technologies. analyzes and discusses SID’s applicability in the Interaction Design field and process through an integrative literature review of papers published between 2005 and 2015, books and documents that address this design-technology-sustainability relation. The idea isn’t discuss all questions that are raised on the literature, but share a collection of perspectives. As a conclusion, further discussion is needed involving how to approach the three pillars of sustainability in projects, how to incorporate SID concepts to Design Education, how to apply these concepts in a multidisciplinary team in the professional environment, and how HCI evaluation methods can be improved to consider sustainability issues.
