摘要:I / dematerialization of economies is probably the main characteristic of the IST (Information Society Technology). We explore in this text the benefits of i / dematerialization in the terms of eco-efficiency and / or sustainable development. If the main contribution of IST / ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is demonstrated by the efforts of the economies to increase their intangible capital stocks and to restructure, i / dematerialization is not inherently eco-efficient and / or sustainable, but tends to generate unintended effects as the rebound effects. In relation to the dematerialization of production, we favor the Immaterialization paradigm "as a switch in consumption behaviour from more material to less material".
