Abstract

Efforts to manage waste are being undertaken at all levels, from households to large factories that produce waste daily. The imbalance between waste production and management has made waste a significant environmental issue. One of the most challenging types of waste to decompose naturally (non-biodegradable) is plastic waste, which constitutes the largest quantity compared to other types of waste. According to statistical data, the amount of non-biodegradable waste disposed of daily at final disposal sites in several cities in Indonesia is 6,598.23 tons per day. This research has both general and specific objectives. The general objective is to utilize plastic waste as a material for making paving blocks, while the specific objective is to analyze the compressive strength properties of paving blocks made from plastic waste. By exploring the potential of plastic waste in construction materials, this study aims to provide a sustainable solution to the plastic waste problem and contribute to environmental preservation. This study used 4 types of specimens where Specimen A consisted of 80% plastic waste and 20% glass powder. Specimen B consisted of 60% plastic waste and 40% glass powder, Specimen C consisted of 40% plastic waste and 60% glass powder, Specimen D consists of 20% plastic waste and 80% glass powder. The research results showed that Specimen B achieved the highest average compressive strength value of 10.9 Mpa, indicating significant potential in supporting material strength. On the other hand, Specimen D showed the lowest average compressive strength value with only 1.2 Mpa, indicating the need for further composition adjustments to increase the material's strength. This research provides valuable insight into developing recycled materials for construction and other industrial applications.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the world's largest cocoa producers; however, traditional cocoa bean drying methods pose significant challenges, including weather dependency and contamination risks. This study aims to enhance the drying efficiency and product quality by employing an indirect solar dryer integrated with silica gel as a humidity reducer. Experimental research was conducted in the open field area of the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Samudra, Langsa. The results demonstrate that the use of silica gel effectively stabilizes air temperature and accelerates moisture reduction compared to drying without silica gel. The developed solar drying system reduced the moisture content of cocoa beans by up to 38% within 4 hours, producing a more hygienic final product than manual drying, which achieved only a 21% reduction. This solar dryer technology offers a promising alternative solution for cocoa farmers to improve productivity and product quality sustainably.

Abstract

Perkembangan teknologi informasi telah mendorong transformasi digital di berbagai sektor, termasuk administrasi desa. Namun, pemanfaatan teknologi cloud sebagai media penyimpanan dokumen digital belum sepenuhnya diadopsi oleh aparatur desa. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan literasi digital aparatur kantor keuchik di Desa Meurandeh Dayah melalui pelatihan penggunaan aplikasi cloud. Pelatihan dilakukan oleh tim dari Universitas Samudra dengan metode ceramah, demonstrasi langsung, dan praktik mandiri. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman dan keterampilan peserta dalam menggunakan Google Drive sebagai media penyimpanan digital. Kegiatan ini memberikan dampak positif terhadap efisiensi kerja dan menjadi langkah awal menuju digitalisasi sistem administrasi desa.

Abstract

The growth of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) has not been fully supported by the implementation of environmentally sustainable management strategies. This study aims to identify internal factors influencing environmentally friendly waste management among MSMEs and to measure their contribution to sustainable development in Aceh Tamiang Regency. The main focus is to assess how organizational structure, resource management, and environmental awareness within MSMEs affect sustainable empowerment, particularly in sectors that generate waste. The study population consists of 965 waste-producing MSMEs, with a sample of 300 respondents selected using purposive sampling to match the research criteria. Data was collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the assistance of AMOS software. SEM was chosen for its ability to test complex relationships among variables simultaneously and provide strong validity for the theoretical model. The findings show that internal company factors such as demographics, human resources, corporate culture, management practices, marketing, innovation capability, and employee awareness significantly influence MSME empowerment in adopting environmentally friendly practices. Furthermore, this empowerment contributes positively to sustainable development by reducing environmental impacts and improving economic efficiency. These findings are important for policymakers in Aceh Tamiang in designing sustainability-based strategies and policies for the development of local MSMEs.
