A company that implements an effective eco-efficiency program will obtain the following benefits (ecoeficiencia.com):

Some practical examples of dematerialization are the shared uses of products, such as carsharing, public bicycles or bicing, the rental or renting of washing machines, cameras and photocopiers and other product service systems (product service systems), which sell the service that a product provides without a change in the owner of the product. In this way, fewer natural resources are consumed per unit of given service, which is known as MIPS (Material input per unit of service).

Ecological Economics puts it into discussion based on Jevons's paradox, which says that greater efficiency due to technical improvements creates a rebound effect, that is, energy/material savings per unit of product reduce costs, thereby increasing consumption. In the end the increase in sales, or use, will offset the initial savings.

And by empirical studies on the use of energy and materials in modern economies, in which nothing but a progressive increase in the physical and biological inputs used is observed.

Dematerialization is done by reducing the flow of matter in the economy to maintain the assimilation capacity of ecosystems at tolerable levels. The main meaning of dematerialization is to increase the productivity of resources, which can be measured in a macroeconomic sense as gross domestic product over Total Material Required (Boada, 2002).
