Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Melalui Pemanfaatan Limbah Botol Plastik Sebagai Aksesoris Rumah dan Wanita
Abstract
Plastic bottle waste is a problem that is being faced by the community, especially in the Balle Village area. This is because the effort to reduce the volume of plastic bottle waste is smaller than the production rate, so that the existence of plastic bottle waste is increasing in Balle Village. The plastic bottle waste is usually just burned or allowed to pile up in the garbage storage without any management. Burning plastic bottles is also ineffective in reducing the buildup of plastic bottle waste because it carries the risk of pollutants and other polluting particulates. So, this service program is carried out with the aim of providing solutions for partners to utilize plastic bottle waste as home and women's accessories through the empowerment of the Balle Village PKK Mother. This program is implemented in the form of counseling, training, and online mentoring. The result of this activity is that the Balle Village Women's PKK has the ability to make accessories from plastic bottle waste independently, opens new jobs, and increases community income from the sale of home and women's accessories.
