Abstract

Training on Making Eco-Enzyme Multipurpose Liquids from OrganicWastes and How to Use in Gondangmanis Village, Bae, Kudus. Eco-Enzyme (EE) is a multifunctional liquid produced from anaerobic fermentation of organic waste, especially from fresh fruit and vegetable wastes. Until now, most Indonesian citizens have not known about this enzyme, including the partner, residents of Gondangmanis Village, Bae District, Kudus Regency. This training aims to enable the partners to produce EE from organic wastes at the household level and its application. The direct benefit of this activity is to add value to household waste. The indirect benefit is to increase the volume of recyclable wastes towards zero waste. The used method consisted of lectures, practices of EE production, storage, and application. The EE production practice used a plastic drum with a capacity of 120 liter filled with 90 liter of water, 27 kg of organic wastes, and 9 kg of molasses. The result showed that total EE produced was 73 liter, smells good with light brown, and at a pH of 3.0. The partner used the EE for household cleaning, air purification, and floodwater purification. There is a percentage increase in participants' understanding of 90% who initially did not know EE to be able to make and apply it. Using organic waste for EE production can reduce as much as 50% of the amount of organic waste.
