Abstract

Globalization has led to the growth of electronics trade, encouraging large brands of technological products to develop more advanced technologies. The waste generated by technological growth has negative impacts on public health and the environment. Thus, viable alternatives are sought for managing this waste and raising awareness among the population. This case study aims to analyze how the electronics reuse process carried out by Megazone informatics works. The methodology used was descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Furthermore, there was an understanding of how the owner's decision method works for reusing and reconditioning products entering the store. The results obtained in the research indicate that this market is growing and there is a large turnover of products, such as the entry of a significant number of smartphones, the removal of their parts and their subsequent sale. Furthermore, there are positive economic and environmental results, reducing what would otherwise be waste and transforming it into a regular product in good condition. It can be concluded that it is a promising business model to inspire new ventures.
