The planetary environmental crisis represents for the future one of the scenarios of greatest risk and uncertainty for humanity. In this context, technology has stood out more for its harmfulness than for its capacity to prevent or reverse ecosystemic problems; meanwhile, the fields of environmental technologies, and specifically regenerative technologies, faced less progress and conceptual confusion. To fill this gap, the evolutionary process and key characteristics of environmental technology and regenerative environmental technology were identified through a non-exhaustive exploratory documentary study based on a mixed methodology, delimiting: 1) the historical context of environmental technologies; 2) the conceptual mapping of regenerative environmental technology; and 3) the challenges and prospects of applicability in Mexico. The study concluded that regenerative technological development requires strengthening its theoretical and practical corpus; all regenerative environmental technology is multidimensionally retributive; the use of conceptual mapping as a technique clarified and integrated the notion of regenerative environmental technology, pointing out its gaps; to rethink the regenerative environmental techno-scientific paradigm requires a rigorous and profound critique of the economic model that underlies it; in Mexico, the evidence points towards regeneration, and a retributive model of its own is desirable.
