Ecobrick: Building Basic Alternative Based On Eco-Friendly Methods Using Inorganic Waste In Punten Village

Abstract

Problems often occur in the processing of inorganic waste in Punten Village, Bumiaji District, Batu City. This is because there are many waste banks that are not effectively utilized. A waste bank is a work unit that manages waste in an area. However, the waste bank in Punten Village is still not effective. Community empowerment on the importance of sorting waste and utilizing it into appropriate goods is also still lacking. There is a need for relevant empowerment activities to convince the community of the importance of sorting organic and inorganic waste so that it is easy to use them into useful goods/materials.The purpose of this program is to introduce the community to how to sort and utilize the waste generated through the Ecobrick program: Alternative Building Bases in Punten Village Based on Environmentally Friendly Methods Using Inorganic Waste. This activity is carried out for 5 months from July to November 2022The implementation method used in this program is data collection, preparation, program implementation includes socialization and training, monitoring andevaluation, and finally the preparation of reports. In addition, the activities that have been carried out include: Forum Group Discussion to village heads and related ranks, simulation and training activities targeted at the community, development of theconstruction of a waste bank in Punten Village, and activities ending with evaluation activities for the community.
