DISRUPTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATIONS WITH HIGH POPULATION IMPACT AIMED AT THE DISPOSAL OF RECYCLABLE MATERIALS IN MAJOR EVENTS

Abstract

Technology has been occupying more and more space in the daily lives of people in big cities, which ends up raising the very current discussions about sustainability. Thus, this article sought to make a theoretical review in the literature on the beginning of discussions and development of the first "green" technologies and on their patents, as well as on Brazilian inventions aimed at the processing of solid waste. At the same time, it addresses concepts of information innovation and disruptive technologies for commercial purposes, presenting two technological tools with high educational content and great capacity to change people's way of thinking and consumption habits. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of studies focused on the behavior of technologies in the face of contemporary issues such as sustainability and environmental preservation. Our bet is that these instruments, more than operating a technological production related to recycling, can deconstruct old paradigms and establish new ones.
