Empowerment of Environmental Communities in Organic Waste Management through Eco-Enzyme Production Training in Malang City
Main Article Content
Abstract
Waste management remains one of the most pressing challenges for major cities in Indonesia, including Malang City. In 2023, Malang generated approximately 778.34 tons of waste per day, dominated by food waste (54.39%), garden waste (13.60%), and plastic (13.66%). This situation indicates the predominance of organic waste that requires sustainable handling directly from its source. The main problem faced by environmental community partners is the lack of knowledge and practical skills in managing organic waste effectively. To address this issue, a community engagement program was conducted to enhance awareness and capacity in producing eco-enzyme, a fermented liquid derived from organic waste that can be utilized as a natural cleaner and fertilizer. The program was implemented through three stages: socialization on the importance of waste management, hands-on eco-enzyme production training, and evaluation through an online survey. The training involved 25 participants from 12 environmental communities in Malang City. The results showed that 84% of participants gained a better understanding of eco-enzyme production and expressed readiness to apply it within their communities. This activity successfully fostered environmental awareness, promoted waste reduction at the community level, and supported the realization of a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable urban environment.
