<![CDATA[This community service activity aims to increase awareness of SMK Batik 1 Surakarta students, especially from the Online Business and Marketing Department, regarding the importance of waste management and the application of recycling concepts. The macrame keychain making training using jumbo iced tea glass waste as the main material provides practical skills that are useful for students in processing plastic waste into environmentally friendly craft products. This training also supports students' entrepreneurial potential and introduces the principle of recycling in a practical context. Thus, this activity not only teaches new skills but also introduces environmentally friendly concepts in the world of education, which are expected to be applied more widely in society. This activity includes steps for cleaning glasses, cutting, assembling, weaving, and finishing products. The results of the questionnaire before and after the activity showed an increase in students' understanding of macrame techniques and the use of plastic waste, with all participants claiming to understand more after the training and being able to produce useful keychain products. Suggestions for the next activity include adding training materials, improving tool facilities, and collaborating with external parties for the application of skills in the real world.]]>
