This Community Service Program (PkM) aimed to enhance the capacity of the community in Mandalasari Village, Kaduhejo District, Pandeglang Regency, by promoting the creative economy through the utilization of plastic bottle waste as Hydrobokas planting media.

The activities actively involved lecturers, university students, village officials, farmers, and local community members throughout all stages of implementation. The results demonstrated significant improvements in community knowledge regarding waste management based on the 3R principles (reduce, reuse, and recycle), enhanced participants' skills in independently producing Hydrobokas planting media, and increased public awareness of transforming plastic bottle waste into products with practical and economic value. In addition to contributing to environmental conservation through plastic waste reduction, the program created opportunities for developing creative economy-based microenterprises, strengthened household food security through home gardening, and fostered collaboration among universities, village governments, and local communities. Therefore, the Hydrobokas-based community empowerment model has strong potential to be replicated in other regions as a sustainable strategy for plastic waste management while supporting the implementation of a circular economy and sustainable rural development.

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Waste management remains one of the environmental issues faced by communities in Indonesia, including those in Ranjeng Village, Ciruas District, Serang Regency. Low public awareness regarding waste management, along with the large amount of inorganic waste disposed of improperly, has become a major factor contributing to waste accumulation in the surrounding environment. This condition has worsened due to the lack of adequate waste disposal facilities, which may lead to environmental pollution and various public health problems. As an effort to address these issues, the Community Service Program (KKM) Group 24 students of Universitas Bina Bangsa initiated the Rocket Stove program as an educational medium for promoting the utilization of waste as fuel. This program aims to help reduce waste accumulation within the community while also minimizing air pollution, as Rocket Stove produces lower smoke emissions compared to conventional burning methods. The program was implemented through several stages, including socialization, planning, stove construction, and community education regarding its use and benefits as a more environmentally friendly combustion method. The Rocket Stove was constructed using materials that are easily obtained from the surrounding environment and served as a learning tool for introducing the utilization of waste as a fuel source. The results of the program indicated an increase in community understanding regarding the operation and benefits of this technology as an effort to reduce waste accumulation and control air pollution. This program is expected to encourage greater public awareness of environmental cleanliness and support the creation of a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment in Ranjeng Village.

Used cooking oil is a type of household waste often discarded without treatment, posing potential environmental risks. However, it can be repurposed into products with both utility and economic value—such as aromatherapy candles. This community service initiative aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of housewives regarding the utilization of used cooking oil while highlighting its potential as a new entrepreneurial opportunity.

It took place in RT 04, Cigoong Urban Village, Walantaka District, Serang City, with the participation of eight housewives. A participatory approach was employed, featuring awareness-raising sessions, demonstrations, and hands-on practice ("learning by doing") in making aromatherapy candles from used cooking oil. Materials used included used cooking oil, dyes, fragrances, wicks, and small gypsum containers. The results demonstrated that participants successfully followed the production steps and created aromatherapy candles featuring various colors and scents. This activity provided practical experience in transforming household waste into useful products and introduced the potential for product development as a new business venture. In addition to production, students assisted in setting up a Lynk.id-based website to serve as a digital storefront and sales platform for showcasing and marketing the finished candles. This initiative is expected to encourage the community to manage household waste more wisely and to develop productive skills that could generate additional economic value for their families.
