Abstract

The Ngrombo village community is a community that has high creativity. So far, the
management of plastic waste in the area has been very good, by sorting organic and
inorganic waste, making compost, and recycling plastic waste, namely reusing plastic
waste into creative crafts, but still producing residual waste (called residue), and has not
been utilized optimally, so that it is immediately disposed of by the Disaster Response
Community Team (MAGANA) to the final disposal site, resulting in hoarding and
environmental pollution. For this reason, efforts are needed to creatively process plastic
waste in order to create an educational tourism village in Ngrombo village and realize
the mission of Indonesia being free of waste by 2025. The problem found in partners is
the remaining plastic waste processing (residue) has not been used and is just thrown
away, and have an impact on the accumulation of waste, resulting in environmental
pollution. The solution offered is to provide education/education in the form of outreach
and workshops to Aisyiyah and PKK members in Ngrombo Village, Baki, Sukoharjo
about processing plastic waste into ecobricks. This aims to increase the potential of
Ngrombo village as an educational tourism village in plastic waste management. This
method of service activity will be carried out in several stages: lectures, demonstrations,
mentoring and training, and workshops. The implementation procedure starts from the
preparation, implementation, evaluation and monitoring stages. The results of this
service activity show that in terms of understanding, knowledge and behavior (related to
the behavior of making ecobricks). Each of these aspects increased from 52.22 to 88.38;
66.39 to 99.31; and 53.90 to 66.3. Some of the ecobricks products that have been
developed include: tables and chairs, multipurpose places, shoe racks, and multi-
functional shelves
