The creation of a comic that tells the story of processing organic waste such as Eco-enzyme is one of the efforts to encourage sustainable behavior. Eco-enzyme is a liquid produced from the fermentation of organic kitchen waste such as vegetables, fruits, palm sugar, water, and other materials. The procedure involves mixing these ingredients in a tightly sealed container and allowing them to ferment for a certain period. Polibatam conducted a community service program aimed at increasing the knowledge of students at SMK Negeri 7 Batam regarding the production of Eco-enzyme, which is highly beneficial and serves as a solution for handling household waste. The number of students participating in this activity was around 120. During its implementation, lecturers from Politeknik Negeri Batam collaborated with the Eco-enzyme Indonesia Foundation team, focusing on socialization and hands-on training in Eco-enzyme production using pre-prepared materials. In practice, the students were actively involved and engaged in discussions with the team, accompanied by lecturers while working in their respective groups. To make the activity more engaging, an Eco-enzyme-themed comic created by Polibatam lecturers was also distributed and used as training media during the socialization. This activity served as a stimulus for students to become more creative in addressing current environmental issues. Through this program, it is expected that students - especially those from SMK Negeri 7 Batam will take concrete action in responding to environmental damage issues that can be addressed through creative approaches.
