MENGUBAH LIMBAH MENJADI PRODUK BERNILAI EKONOMI : PELATIHAN PENGOLAHAN LIMBAH KELAPA BAGI IBU-IBU PKK DAN ANGGOTA KARANG TARUNA DESA SENANG HATI

Abstract

Senang Hati Village is one of the villages in Malingping District, Lebak Regency, Banten. This village has its advantages, one of which is coconut trees. The lack of community skills in exploiting the existing potential means that coconut waste has no value, even its selling price is very cheap, so that local people leave the waste alone, which can automatically pollute the surrounding environment and become useless waste. This is the main problem in Senang Hati Village, apart from the community's lack of knowledge about the benefits of waste, the community has also never received socialization and guidance from the Lebak Regency Tourism and Creative Economy Office. The aim of this Abdimas is to empower the Senang Hati village community to be able to manage and utilize waste so that the waste can have economic value, through training activities on coconut waste processing. The solution to the problem used in this community service activity is the Empowerment approach. The strategy used is training and assistance to the community, especially PKK women and Karang Taruna members, to develop environmentally friendly and sustainable businesses. The expected output of this PKM activity is to increase the insight and skills of the Senang Hati village community regarding the processing and utilization of coconut tree waste. The results and impact on partners are growing awareness and changing attitudes to maintain a clean and healthy environment by utilizing waste that has economic potential, intelligently, creatively and innovatively and increasing the economic income of village communities through waste processing activities that have economic value.
