Where do current environmental problems come from? It has been detected that one of the main causes is the disposition and management given to products post-use. The aim of this article is to explore the origin of the problems caused by industrial waste and post-use products and to analyze the consequences on the environment, the economy and society, with the result that the problem has been repeated with increasing intensity since pre-Socratic times. To do this, the exploratory consultation of books, articles, magazines, world and local events in databases of Universidad Nacional de Colombia and the University of São Paulo (Brazil), were used which show the reactions of society and therefore the solutions that have wanted to be implemented to achieve a more sustainable development. From the solutions proposed for these problems, lines of global nature appeared in the field of social, technical, ethical and legal environments, which eventually end up deeply affecting industrial systems, all based on sustainable practices. Those facts that made the mentality evolve from the effects of the post-use products to the emergence of a new global ethics, of which there are notable examples in Latin America, are highlighted concluding that all this problem has an ethical and social component which would allow the application of sustainable techniques in productive systems, where the action of a component makes evolve the other components ending in ethical positions in favor of sustainability that are consistent with technical aspects of production systems, a variable that was observed through the article.
