Innovative eco-enzyme and organic solutions: transforming waste into value

The increasing amount of organic waste, particularly from households, poses a serious issue in many major cities in Indonesia. Although often overlooked, organic waste holds significant potential to be processed into useful products such as eco-enzyme and organic fertilizer. This study aims to enhance community knowledge and skills in utilizing organic waste to produce multi-purpose eco-enzyme liquid and its derivatives, including handwashing soap and organic fertilizer. The method employed involves collaboration between a community service team and the Kota Hijau community of RW 21, Mangsang Village. Activities included planning, implementing the production of eco-enzyme and its derivative products, and evaluating the program's sustainability. Results demonstrated the successful transformation of organic waste into eco-friendly products with the support of partners and the local community, although resident participation was still limited. This program is expected to raise environmental awareness and provide practical solutions for organic waste management within the community while strengthening the relationship between the community service team and residents of RW 21.
