Abstract

The development of biodegradable foam, or Biofoam, utilizing water hyacinth cellulose and arrowroot starch, presents a promising alternative to the environmentally detrimental use of polystyrene foam. Water hyacinth, which proliferates extensively in the Semarang region and is often regarded as a parasitic species, boasts a significant cellulose and fiber content, quantified at 72.63%. This high cellulose content renders it a viable resource for the production of sustainable packaging materials, thereby addressing both environmental pollution and associated health risks posed by traditional polystyrene foam. This study aims to characterize the properties of the produced foam through a series of antimicrobial tests, tensile strength tests, and biodegradability assessments. The raw materials utilized include cellulose derived from water hyacinth stems, arrowroot starch, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), chitosan, and polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400). The result showed that Biofoam exhibits no bacterial growth, as determined by antimicrobial testing. The tensile strength test results were consistent with Synbra Technology standards, with tensile strength values ranging from 1.58 MPa to 2.63 MPa. Furthermore, Biofoam has successfully passed the biodegradability test, as evidenced by its degradation in soil using the soil burial test method, which is characterized by the physical transformation of Biofoam into a softer and more porous material. To improve the performance of the biofoam, further research is needed regarding its shape.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Desa Sidorejo kelurahan Tambangan kecamatan Mijen merupakan suatu desa yang banyak warganya menanam tanaman buah rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.), namun banyak masyarakat yang belum memiliki pengetahuan tentang manfaat tanaman tersebut sebagaibahan Eco-print. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini merupakan implementasi hasil penelitian tentang pemanfaatan tumbuhan sebagai motif pada eco-print. Tujuan: Untuk mengedukasi masyarakat tentang manfaat daun rambutan sebagai bahan eco-print, sehingga dapat meningkatkan pendapatan Masyarakat. Metode: Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Sidorejo, Kelurahan Tambangan, Mijen Semarang dalam bentuk ceramah dan pelatihan ketrampilan Eco-print. Partisipan pengabdian masyarakat sebanyak 20 orang. Hasil: Partisipan lebih memahami tentang manfaat daun tanaman rambutan sebagai bahan eco-print.  Nilai rata-rata pengetahuan partisipan mengalami peningkatan dari 56,5 poin saat pre-test menjadi 90,25 post-test, mengalami peningkatan rerata skor pengetahuan sebesar 59,74%. Kesimpulan: Edukasi dalam bentuk ceramah dan pelatihan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang manfaat daun tanaman rambutan dalam pembuatan Eco-print. Kata kunci: daun rambutan, eco-print, nephelium lappaceum l _________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Background: Sidorejo Village, Tambangan Subdistrict, Mijen District, is a village where many residents grow rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.), but no one has knowledge of the benefits as an Eco-print material. In the previous research, results on the use of plants as motifs in eco-print were presented. This community service activity is an implementation of it. Objective: To educate the community about the benefits of rambutan leaves as an eco-print material, so that it can increase community income. Method: The activity was carried out in Sidorejo, Tambangan Subdistrict, Mijen, Semarang, in the form of lectures and Eco-print skills training. Among the 20 community service participants are present. Result: Participants better understand the benefits of rambutan leaves as an eco-print material. The average knowledge score of participants increased from 56.5 points in the pre-test to 90.25 in the post-test. The average knowledge score has increased by 59.74%. Conclusion: Education by lectures and training can increase community knowledge about the benefits of rambutan leaves in making Eco-print. Keywords: rambutan leaves, eco-print, nephelium lappaceum l
