Abstract

Plastic waste and the high unemployment rate among young people remain significant challenges that require innovative and sustainable solutions. This community service program aimed to develop the creativity of students and youth through the utilization of used plastic bags to create decorative flower crafts with economic value. The method employed was Project-Based Learning (PjBL), which actively involved participants in the stages of planning, implementation, and product evaluation. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and simple interviews. The program involved 7 participants who successfully produced 3 decorative flower arrangements made from used plastic bags as the final products of the training. The results showed that participants were able to transform plastic waste into products with aesthetic and economic value. In addition, participants acquired practical skills in plastic waste utilization and improved their understanding of waste management based on the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle (3R). The activity also fostered environmental awareness and entrepreneurial spirit by encouraging participants to view plastic waste as a valuable resource for creative and marketable products. Therefore, the utilization of used plastic bags into decorative flower crafts can serve as an alternative community empowerment strategy that supports plastic waste reduction while promoting the development of the creative economy among young people.

Abstract

Inorganic waste in the form of aluminum bar scraps and broken glass generated by small-scale industries in Kendari City is generally underutilized and often ends up in landfills. This condition has the potential to increase environmental burdens because both materials are difficult to decompose naturally. This study aims to describe the utilization process of aluminum and glass waste through an upcycling technique to produce an interior product in the form of a flower pot rack measuring 75 × 25 × 25 cm. The method employed includes waste collection and sorting, product design, material cutting and assembly, and final product evaluation. The results indicate that aluminum and glass waste can be transformed into a functional, aesthetic, and corrosion-resistant product with an additional material cost of approximately IDR 15,000. The resulting product not only serves as a useful interior element but also provides added economic value compared to the original waste materials. The application of upcycling techniques contributes to reducing the volume of inorganic waste while creating opportunities for the development of creative businesses based on recycled materials within the local MSME sector. Therefore, converting aluminum and glass waste into flower pot racks can serve as an alternative solution for sustainable and economically valuable waste management.
