Technology has been occupying more and more space in the daily lives of people in big cities, which ends up giving rise to the current discussions on sustainability. Thus, this study aimed to make a theoretical literature review at the beginning of the discussions on the first “green” technologies, their development and patents, as well as on Brazilian inventions aimed at the processing of solid waste. In addition, concepts of innovation of information and disruptive technologies for commercial purposes were addressed, thus presenting two technological tools given their high educational content and great ability to change the way people think and their consumption habits. Finally, it was emphasized the importance of studies focused on the behavior of technologies in the face of contemporary issues such as sustainability and environmental preservation.
