This article aims to correlate nanoelement technologies and legal regulation in the use and disposal of such materials. With the purpose of supporting a critical reflection on the economic development model, added by the arguments derived from the area of Research, Development and Innovation (PD&I), the precautionary principle is a beacon of corporate management and sustainability instruments for the protection of the environment and human health. Through the qualitative approach, bibliographic procedures were adopted, with a survey of theoretical references published by electronic and documentary forms. As a result, the persistent lack of regulation was found, emphasizing the need for business management tools, which are being carried out through standard technical standards, in the guise of no regulations. Opening legal and technical loopholes for improper application of nanomaterials that may have harmful impact on human health or the environment.
