    The number of the population is increasing and it is expected that by 2025 it will reach 8.5 billion inhabitants. Likewise, the need to produce satisfactory momentary and disposable consumer items has increased, resulting in contamination generated by waste. Due to this, governments have taken action on the matter, generating new legislation in favor of the environment, forcing manufacturers and importers to manage a package with certain environmental policies. Companies will be obliged to develop waste management systems that could mean a high cost for them, and in the search to minimize the impact on their profitability they could look for alternatives that reduce the generation of this waste, as in the case of Colombia where it is required to improve production and consumption patterns. The purpose of this research is to expand the knowledge about the perceptions about reuse in the category of babies as an alternative to the generation of waste, of mothers and fathers with babies between 0 and 36 months, of the metropolitan area of Valle de Boring. The qualitative research method was used, through interviews with 12 people with children between 0 and 36 months, virtually. From the interviews it was understood that there are three motivators that significantly influence the willingness to reuse a baby product: the proximity between the users of the product, the economic issue and the ecological or environmental factor. Additionally, another of the findings made in this research is that people are willing to apply pro-environmental practices and reuse models as long as it does not generate complications, more work or the need to dedicate more time.
