In the last decades the relationship between economic development, environmental quality and social equity has been outlined within the concept of sustainability. The objective of this research was to investigate the importance of the reuse/treatment of technological waste for the environmental preservation and sustainability of a company. The research was carried out through an exploratory study, with a literature review on the subject through books, papers, theses, dissertations and a survey of information, in secondary sources from a company in the field of information technology. It was possible to verify that a company of any size can have its sustainable balance by caring for the environment through the adoption of practices based on the knowledge acquired. It was also evidenced that the environmental management intends to train for the practice of reuse and/or maintenance within a company, being able to generate revenues using a sustainable and controlled policy or even to generate a new business platform.
