Abstract

Paper is a material with various daily applications, as a medium for writing, printing, drawing, wrapping, etc. Although in the digital era the role of paper is increasingly minimal, it cannot be denied that the use of paper continues. Besides being useful, paper also leaves a problematic side when it becomes waste. Paper waste that is tried to be eliminated by burning will cause air pollution in the form of disturbing and dangerous smelling smoke, especially in large and continuous volumes. Recycling paper waste is important in order to prevent and minimize environmental damage due to inappropriate handling. The process of recycling paper aims to process paper waste into "new" paper that can be reused and has a selling value. By utilizing household equipment that is generally available at home, this training activity is carried out through simple traditional methods, namely soaking, blending, to the process of filtering paper pulp and drying. The training was carried out on 45 students of SMK N 1 Trucuk, Klaten. This training produces practical solutions for dealing with paper waste while providing basic provisions for students to be able to recycle used paper, so that the implementation of creativity in the future is useful. With the uniqueness of the visuals of paper that is made artistically, it can also be applied as a material in making handicraft products that have sales value.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Sahabat Petani Porang Sukoharjo (SPPS) is a productive partner engaged in the field of porang and its derivative products. SPPS has successfully processed porang tubers into glucomannan which has added value and potential. However, demand for glucomannan is still low, resulting in a lot of glucomannan being unsold. A community service team from Veteran Bangun Nusantara University, through the Community Partnership Empowerment (PKM) scheme, took the initiative to develop the downstream processing of glucomannan into healthy, low-gluten instant noodles. The main objective of this PKM activity is to be able to develop a derivative product of porang glucomannan in the form of healthy instant noodles. The problem aspect addressed by the community service team is the production aspect of healthy instant noodles. The solution provided is training in making healthy instant noodles, with the hope that SPPS will experience increased product diversity. The stages undertaken by the community service team include socialization and training accompanied by the application of technology and innovation. The results of the PKM activity are an increase in understanding of how to make healthy instant noodles by 80% and an increase in healthy instant noodle making skills by 40%. The resulting product is a healthy, low-gluten instant noodle. Future plans include intensive and regular mentoring for the production and marketing of healthy instant noodles.

Abstract

Local food is a viable alternative to traditional food sources for meeting people's food needs. Central Java Province is a fairly high producer of porang. This is proven. One location with many farmers growing porang is in the buffer district of Surakarta City, namely Sukoharjo Regency. The production of food crops, especially porang in Sukoharjo, is what actually provides supplies to urban areas. Porang plants are sold in processed form, such as flour. The added value of this product increases economic value. The purpose of this study is to reveal the strengthening of the porang creative economy in Central Java Province through the creation of value-added products and the introduction of a communal business system that could potentially encourage porang production to become one of the iconic products in Central Java. This study uses a descriptive analytical method. This study utilizes primary data collected through direct interviews with farmers. The respondents of this study were 50 porang farmers in Sukoharjo Regency who are members of the Sukoharjo Porang Farmers' Friends (SPPS) in Kamal Village, Bulu District, Sukoharjo Regency. Data analysis used the Hayami method of value-added analysis and a literature review of the communal introduction system. The value-added analysis results show that glucomannan flour production generates an added value of IDR 199,641 per kg of porang tuber raw material with a ratio of 72.25%. The profit obtained by the trading business is IDR. 186,483 per kilogram of porang tuber raw material with a profit ratio of 68.68%. The communal introduction system enables the porang business to be well-managed, as there are still porang farmers outside Sukoharjo Regency who continue to plant. Communal integration can stabilize production supplies, thereby strengthening existing institutions and necessitating testing in the three districts involved.
