Optimalisasi Pengelolaan Sampah Rumah Tangga untuk Akselerasi Kesejahteraan Masyarakat Melalui Bank Sampah: Eksistensi Konsep Circular Economy

Abstract

Sukun Berdaya Village has a Sukun Berseri waste bank that manages household organic waste into compost. However, there are obstacles that require solutions, namely (1) the lack of knowledge of the management on the process of processing household waste into organic fertilizer, (2) the absence of shredders, (3) the use of barrels for composter that causes unpleasant odors, (4) the quality of fertilizers that have not met the standards, (5) fertilizer packaging that is not up to standard, (6) there is no distributional-chain to market fertilizer production. The dedication methods used to overcome these problems are training and mentoring, as well as the provision of supporting tools. The result of this service program is an increase in community knowledge and skills in producing compost in accordance with standards. In addition, the provision of a shredding device can increase the efficiency of the process of shredding waste into smaller particles. Composter bags can also prevent air pollution due to the composter process. Packaging and labeling can ensure the quality of compost until it reaches customers and attracts consumers more. Finally, online and offline marketing training can create a distributional-chain while expanding the market. The further program can assist in testing the quality and standards of fertilizers produced and establishing a partnership program.
