One of the problems that metropolitan cities faced including Depok is large volumes of organic waste that require special handling. Based on these problems, a special approach is needed to overcome the processing of organic waste in the city of Depok. The approach taken is expected to be able to see various perspectives from the parties involved in processing organic waste so that the alternative solutions can be created. This research uses design thinking, which consists of stages of empathise, define, ideate, prototype, and test. By using this approach, the impact on organic waste management can be more powerful.
