Among them, the possibility of Non-Consumption as a valid option to establish alternative processes of economic growth and development, especially, in Latin American countries, by incorporating other knowledge and logics for the exchange of goods and services, for example, the Quechua concept of Buen Vivir.. Central aspects of the alternative proposal for the reduction of voluntary consumption (“Non-Consumption”) from a global bioethics perspective, the following are presented are also presented as a strategy for human beings to build scenarios, which promote the satisfaction of needs, equity in welfare and employment to reconvert companies, by adapting their production lines to schemes, which mitigate the impact on the environment and to promote Latin American regional markets, which encourage recovery, reuse, recycling, and repair.
