With that, eco-innovation arises for companies to seek to adapt to market requirements and thus present a competitive advantage in relation to the environment. There are dimensions of eco-innovation that contribute to innovation and sustainable development, just as there are eco-innovation barriers that hamper sustainable development. Therefore, the objective of this work is to know what dimensions and barriers are found in a small manufacturing company located in the Southwest of Paraná, in order to create an action plan and strategies to leverage its eco-innovative potential. The research is qualitative with questions that aim to identify the results on eco-innovation. The data collected were analyzed using the triangulation of data collection, which are: observation, document analysis and a questionnaire to analyze dimensions and barriers. Such questions, from which the questionnaires were carried out, were adapted from the authors Carrillo-Hermosilla, Gonzalez and Könnölä (2009) who highlight some factors, barriers and dimensions for eco-innovative activities in organizations. The analysis of the results showed that some dimensions were already implemented in the company. As for the barriers encountered, it was possible to propose and present solutions, such as improvements in its processes and services, to make the company more eco-innovative and sustainable.
