PELATIHAN PEMANFAATAN LIMBAH BOTOL PLASTIK KEPADA MASYARAKAT SECARA DARING DI MASA PANDEMI

Abstract

Plastic bottle waste is a serious problem in many countries, including Indonesia. Plastic bottles that are difficult to decompose make the need for various efforts to reuse plastic bottle waste such as recycling. However, in practice in the community, not all plastic bottle waste sells for recycling, in fact a lot of plastic bottle waste does not sell and then accumulates as happened in Sukunan Village, Banyuraden, Gamping, Sleman, Yogyakarta. This encourages the need for creative and innovative efforts in the utilization of plastic bottle waste, one of which is by utilizing plastic bottle waste into pipe glue. The training on the use of plastic bottle waste in this program was carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic with restrictions on community activities so that the implementation was carried out online through online groups, video calls, video conferences, video delivery, modules, and independent experiments by the community. The community feels the benefits and supports this program. However, the results of this online training are not optimal, so further offline training is needed.
