Development of microbial organic waste processing model in community of Sukasari Sub-District Bandung

Abstract

Garbage problem in Bandung was an immediate problem to be overcome. Based on the type of waste generation in the city of Bandung is dominated by the type of organic waste. According to Damanhuri [7] the percentage of organic waste in Bandung reached 73.4%. Therefore, efforts were needed from various parties to provide solutions toward waste problems. Based on this, then conducted a research related to the model of organic waste processing microbialy. The long-term goal of this research was to create a validated, economical, productive and environmentally sound of waste management model. Special target that wants to be achieved was to make the model of organic waste processing microbialy and environmentally friendly (Year 1), implement dissemination of organic waste processing with examples and practices (Year 2), and development of organic waste processing business (Year 3). The research method used was Action Research or Project Based Research (project based research). This method used to find the development of organic waste processing microbial. This activities began with a preliminary study to identify waste management problems, design organic waste management models, and evaluate the organic waste management development model. The research progressed included the identification of the research location, the potential of organic waste generation at the location of the research and the development of microbial waste processing model still in the formed of description. The output of this research was the textbook of organic waste, patent and IPR.
